Hi,
These pictures are really revealing. They're just about shouting that they are artificial structures. On this picture. the lighter-colored rectangular shape around the central feature almost looks like a transparent tent. But, considering Ceres' violent past, I don't think a tent would still be standing. Unless, it's not old.

It reminds me a little of South Massif at the Apollo 17 landing site in Taurus/Littrow, except on a larger scale.

The Ceres object looks like a collapsing dome, which I think is probably responsible for the slightly deflated tent look.

I think the craters on Ceres are completely unique when comparing them to anywhere else.

It looks like a couple of tombs or monuments, or something with some large entrance ways in the center of this crater from Survey Orbit Image 20 .

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
