The varied sources of faculae-forming brines in Ceres’ Occator crater emplaced via hydrothermal brine effusion

Before acquiring highest-resolution data of Ceres, questions remained about the emplacement mechanism and source of Occator crater’s bright faculae. Here we report that brine effusion emplaced the faculae in a brine-limited, impact-induced hydrothermal system. Impact-derived fracturing enabled brine...
