Explore Ceres, the largest asteroid in our solar system, and discover its remarkable ancient ocean and ice-rich crust.

Bright yellow deposits in Consus Crater provide new evidence of Ceres' cryovolcanic history, reigniting the debate over ...

showing that the presence of even a small amount of solid rock mixed with ice could keep the planet's surface relatively stable over time. The research also offers insight into how Ceres might ...

Using AI to comb through data gathered by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, scientists have conducted a detailed scan of the dwarf planet Ceres to map regions rich in organic molecules to determine whether ...

The organic material on the dwarf planet Ceres is probably of extra-Ceresian origin: a recent study concludes that asteroids from the outer asteroid belt that crashed into the dwarf planet brought ...

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres is probably of exogenic origin. Impacting asteroids from the outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them.

The organic material found in a few areas on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres is probably of exogenic origin. Impacting asteroids from the outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them.

Scientists have been unable to determine whether the dwarf planet’s organics were produced by its own chemical processes or ...

Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, is a dwarf planet with frozen oceans and hints of ancient habitability, setting it apart from its rocky neighbors. With a solid core, icy mantle ...

there should have been a planet precisely in that location. With a diameter of 1000 kilometres, Ceres was, however, too small to close that gap on its own. So German astronomers continued their search ...

For the current study (AGU Advances, "Ceres: Organic-Rich Sites of Exogenic Origin?"), the researchers looked for previously unknown deposits of organic material on dwarf planet Ceres. With its ...
