What Did They Discover On Vesta and Ceres?

Although 2015 has been quite a year for new space pics from NASA in our own solar system, there was a lot of cool pics and new info that came in over the last ten years.  One fascinating bit of info is regarding Vesta and Ceres:

Dawn, the speedy ion-drive spacecraft, left Earth in 2007 bound for Vesta and Ceres in the Asteroid Belt. These are no ordinary asteroids. Scientists see them as tiny, still born planets. They sent Dawn out to fly around them, map them, and look for evidence that will transport them to very early days of our solar system.
