JPL's Dawn mission posted a bright spot update on May 20. I'm just getting to it now, but nothing has changed since then. Here are the current conclusions from the scientists:
1) They still don't know what they are.
2) Somebody still thinks that they're ice. No surprise there -- so do I.
3) They admit that the spots are highly reflective.
4) Even if they do identify what they are, the bigger questions will be why they are there, and why they are so bright.
