The mystery surrounding the dwarf planet Ceres continues to thicken: New images taken by the Dawn probe have revealed a three-mile high pyramid-shaped peak, while also giving updated photographs of the planet’s puzzling bright spots.

NASA’s Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the Dawn mission says that “The surface of Ceres has revealed many interesting and unique features. For example, icy moons in the outer solar system have craters with central pits, but on Ceres central pits in large craters are much more common. These and other features will allow us to understand the inner structure of Ceres that we cannot sense directly“.

The Dawn spacecraft has been orbiting around the Ceres dwarf planet since March 6, which is found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The new images also helped to shed some light on the planets bright spots, which are located in a crater, which is about 55 miles in length.

Dawn also snapped a photo of a mountain, three miles high and shaped like a pyramid, that protrudes from an otherwise smooth area of Ceres’ surface.

NASA even says that At least eight spots can be seen next to the largest bright area, which scientists think is approximately 6 miles (9 kilometers) wide. A highly reflective material is responsible for these spots — ice and salt are leading possibilities, but scientists are considering other options, too. Scientists are still not sure if the spots are water, ice, or “hydrated minerals,” but they can say for sure that stable ice would be problematic so close to the sun.

Conspiracy theorists are already claiming that Ceres is an alien colony. According to an Express UK report, conspiracy theorists have provided “conclusive proof” of a fully-fledged high-tech alien civilizations that inhabits the 600-mile diameter dwarf planet.
