it would NOT be visible YET in the April 10 images
it is at 20 deg North what is visible in that gif is 50+ to 90 north as you can see in these two screenshots ( if the naif kernels are accurate, i have been having MAJOR issues with some of them ) added extra light to the scene -- FOR APRIL 10 like the gif-- near the center - off to the right side of ceres |
