The Full Story
Ceres orbits in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. With a diameter of about 940 km, it is the largest object in the belt and large enough to be rounded by its own gravity. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft found bright salt deposits and evidence of past cryovolcanic activity on its surface. Ceres is one of the most intriguing bodies in the inner Solar System because it may once have had a subsurface ocean.
