Excellent news regarding the salts of Occator Crater!!!
One may assume that for small planetary bodies like Ceres, the volatiles like H, O or H2O should have vanished into outer space over geologic time scales. But curiously, we see here what seems to be the remnant of a subsurface layer or pocket of a water-dominated liquid.
And no tidal forces engendered by a large planetary body...
Eager to see a rover in Occator Crater!
