[1] As of 2020, the IAU has approved names for 151 geological features on Ceres: craters, montes, catenae, rupēs, plana, tholi, planitiae, fossae and sulci.
[2][3] In July 2018, NASA released a comparison of physical features found on Ceres with similar ones present on Earth.
[4] Piazzi, named after Giuseppe Piazzi, the discoverer of Ceres, is a dark region southwest of Dantu crater in ground-based images that was named before Dawn arrived at Ceres.
A few of the brightest faculae were numbered during the approach of the Dawn spacecraft.
