NASA has speculated on the nature of various bright spots on the surface of the large asteroid, Ceres, which its spacecraft, Dawn, approaches now. Some scientists offer the possibility the strikingly-bright areas were created by meteor impacts and the bright material is a set of rays radiating from a central impact crater.
That does not explain, however, why the bright spots from this distance in space look just about the same as Las Vegas from roughly the same distance.

The city explanation does appear to be sound but this does not necessarily explain the three-mile-high pyramid observed elsewhere on the surface of Ceres.

If we stick with the Las Vegas explanation from above then a closer look at the pyramid should reveal Donald Trump's name on it with the biggest lettering in the solar system.
Most likely the Las Vegas explanation is partially-correct but the lights aren't casinos. Instead they are the running lights of a spacecraft with the pyramid being the command and control center for approaching the planetoid. Such a central hub needs to be easily-visible so approaching spacecraft can find it regardless of which specific communications frequencies are used for any chosen ship.
The way Ceres works as a spacecraft is the designers invented a device with the capability to perform molecular transduction on solid materials. Through use of this device on a global scale they were able to create, five miles below the surface, a layer around the entire planetoid which is comprised of a new material with extraordinary compressive properties.
In function, the layer of new material worked as a planetary shock absorber to prevent or greatly reduce the impact to the central spacecraft from random meteors striking the surface. This coincidentally provided an exceptional defense from military attack as any assault must penetrate five miles of rock before it even scratches them.
Another aspect of the defensive nature of the layer of modified rock in Ceres is all of the material from there to the surface serves to insulate the spacecraft against broadcasting electronically into space around it and giving away its presence. This is how the spacecraft has remained undetected for so long.
We can see from the surface how the spacecraft has withstood major assaults as some of those craters are many miles across. However, the pilots of the spacecraft were capable of defending the ship even against forces capable of causing such enormous damage as is shown by the lights still shining.
