TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the Dawn Framing camera observations to analyze lobate morphologies on the surface of Ceres and infer the presence of ice in the upper few kilometres of Ceres.

TL;DR: On February 14, 2011 Stardust-NExT (SN) flew by Comet Tempel 1, the target of the Deep Impact (DI) mission in 2005, obtaining dust measurements and high-resolution images of areas surrounding the 2005 impact site, and extending image coverage to almost two thirds of the nucleus surface as discussed by the authors.
