OK, this is just too much.

First, NASA's Dawn probe spotted curiously sparkly bright spots on the surface of Ceres, the dwarf planet that lies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Beats us, the scientists said.

Now, cameras on the tractor-trailer-size spacecraft have captured a baffling structure rising 3 miles above the planet's cratered surface.

Conveniently, the thing looks an awful lot like a pyramid.

"Intriguing," the NASA scientists said.


Come on! Everybody knows knows what the pyramid is for!

I saw that description a few days ago, and I thought
idiots, that's no pyramid, anyone with half a brain can
see it looks most like a limpet.

That's where the predators train their young warriors to hunt xenomorphs.

They're desperate to keep NASA relevant in the eyes of the public.
