Scientists are intrigued by a 4-mile-tall pyramid mountain on dwarf planet Ceres. The bizarre planetary body seems to yield more questions than answers, as NASA's Dawn spacecraft gets closer to the planet Ceres in the asteroid belt.

NASA shows in a video posted Thursday that Ceres features intriguing bright spots in a large crater as well as bright streaks running down the sides of a pyramid-shaped mountain. The pyramid-shaped peak is rising higher than Mt. McKinley in Alaska, which is 20,000-foot (6,100 meters) tall.

NASA Dawn mission's director, Marc Rayman, provided to the press pictures and videos that show the bright spots at the center and around one edge of a crater on Ceres. The crater is 2 miles deep and 60 miles across. The images show at the highest level of detail something which many theories trying to explain so far, without a final conclusion.

The conical pyramid-looking mountain that is oddly glowing in one side and is dark in the other side continues being a mystery that intrigues scientists. The mountain rises 4 miles high and features a structure that might tell scientists many things about how the world works, according to Rayman.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has spotted some astonishing features while taking some close looks at the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres, located in the asteroid belt. Beyond just the bright white spots, the most mysterious structure is a pyramid that looks like the one in Egypt.

As Dawn takes closer peaks on its flybys, the mystery of Ceres keeps growing. According to a CNET report, NASA posted its latest video on Thursday. The new discovery of Dawn Is the pyramid looking mountain that is rising 4 miles into the air.

NASA's Dawn space probe was launched in September 2007 with the goal of observing two of three proto-planets in the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. Dawn is currently on Ceres' orbit, since arriving there in March 2015. Back in 2011, Dawn had been in orbit around Vesta, where it conducted a 14-month survey mission.
