bright water ice — looks dark in these images because it is so thick that it blocks almost all of the sunlight shining behind it.

ice to get through — perhaps even from a crater like the one where Dawn saw the

Impacts exposing subsurface
ice deposits and generating hydrothermal activity are one possible explanation for the
bright spots and Herschel's
water vapor; «cryovolcanoes» that erupt volatiles such as
water rather than rock are another.
Last year the Herschel Space Observatory detected wisps of
water vapor around the dwarf planet, and since its arrival at Ceres, Dawn has imaged oodles of highly reflective
bright spots on the Cereian surface that may be sites of exposed
water ice.
The C ring also appears relatively
bright here; not because it is made of dust, but because the material in it — mostly dirty

bright — indicating
water instead of rock.
A possible cause for the accelerated Arctic warming is the melting of the region's sea
ice, which reduces the icy,
bright area that can reflect sunlight back out into space, resulting in more solar radiation being absorbed by the dark Arctic
waters.
Theory aside, MRO's spectrometer clearly identified the

bright, white, reflective
ice melts to reveal darker ocean
water, sunlight that would normally bounce back into space is absorbed instead.
Thus, sea
ice has melted at an unprecedented rate and is now caught in a vicious cycle known as the
ice - albedo feedback: as sea
ice retreats, sunshine that would have been reflected into space by the
bright white
ice is instead absorbed by the ocean, causing
waters to warm and melt even more
ice.
