For the genus of gossamer-winged butterflies, see Facula (butterfly). A facula {{IPAc-en|'|f|ae|k|j|U|l|@}} (plural: faculae {{IPAc-en|'|f|ae|k|j|U|l|i:}}), Latin for "little torch", is literally a "bright spot". The term has several common technical uses. It is used in planetary nomenclature for naming certain surface features of planets and moons,[1] and is also a type of surface phenomenon on the Sun. In addition, a bright region in the projected field of a light source is sometimes referred to as a facula, and photographers often use the term to describe bright, typically circular features in photographs that correspond to light sources or bright reflections in a defocused image. Solar faculae are bright spots that form in the canyons between solar granules, short-lived convection cells several thousand kilometers across that constantly form and dissipate over timescales of several minutes. Faculae are produced by concentrations of magnetic field lines. Strong concentrations of faculae appear in solar activity, with or without sunspots. The faculae and the sunspots contribute noticeably to variations in the "Solar constant". The chromospheric counterpart of a facular region is called a plage. Cererian faculae were initially speculated to suggest current or past outgassing[2] on Ceres, perhaps due to volcanism or cometary activity. The brightest cluster of spots (Cereale Facula) is located in the center of an {{convert|80|km|mi|adj=on|sp=us}} crater called Occator.[3][4] These bright features have an albedo of about 40%, four times brighter than the average of Ceres's surface.[5] The spots appear to be mostly sodium carbonate ({{chem|Na|2|CO|3}}), implying that hydrothermal activity followed by evaporation of the water is probably what created the spots.[6][7]Referencessource: http://www.solarviews.com/eng/sun.htm Notes1. ^{{Citation | url = http://sci.esa.int/cassini-huygens/37802-titan-flyby-22-08-05/ | title = Sixth Close Titan Flyby | publisher = ESA | date = 16 August 2005 | accessdate = 18 February 2015 }}. {{The Sun}}2. ^LPSC 2015: First results from Dawn at Ceres: provisional place names and possible plumes 3. ^{{cite web |author=Staff |title=USGS: Ceres nomenclature |url=http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/images/ceres.pdf |date=13 July 2015 |work=USGS |format=PDF |accessdate=16 July 2015 }} 4. ^{{cite web |author=Staff |title=Planetary Names: Crater, craters: Occator on Ceres |url=http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/15341 |date=6 July 2015 |work=USGS |accessdate=16 July 2015 }} 5. ^{{cite speech |title=Now Appearing At a Dwarf Planet Near You: NASA's Dawn Mission to the Asteroid Belt |first=Marc |last=Rayman |author-link= |event=Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures |location=Foothill College, Los Altos, CA |date=8 April 2015 |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_3jKyqAIqY |access-date= 2018-07-07}} 6. ^{{cite news |last1=Landau |first1=Elizabeth |last2=Greicius |first2=Tony |title=Recent Hydrothermal Activity May Explain Ceres' Brightest Area |url=http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/recent-hydrothermal-activity-may-explain-ceres-brightest-area |date=29 June 2016 |work=NASA |accessdate=30 June 2016 }} 7. ^{{cite journal|last1=De Sanctis|first1=M.
