Nasa's Dawn Probe captures Ceres' pyramid in unprecedented detail | Daily Mail Online: "The Dawn probe has shed light on a strange 'pyramid' on Ceres, which is estimated to be around four miles high.

This tall, conical mountain on Ceres from a distance of 915 miles (1,470km). The 'pyramid', located in the southern hemisphere, stands 4 miles (6 kilometers) high. Its perimeter is sharply defined, with almost no accumulated debris at the base of the brightly streaked slope

A new image, taken from around 915 miles (1,470km) away, has revealed this mountain in unprecedented detail, showing its conical shape and a series of bright streaks on its surface."
