Ceres' geological activity, ice revealed in new research

A lonely 3-mile-high (5-kilometer-high) mountain on Ceres is likely volcanic in origin, and the dwarf planet may have a weak, temporary atmosphere. These are just two of many new insights about Ceres from NASA's Dawn mission published in six papers. Ref. Source 8m.

NASA uncovers possibility of ice volcanoes on dwarf planet Ceres

New observations by NASA's Dawn spacecraft suggest that Ceres, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter, boasts so-called cryovolcanoes at the bottom of several of its craters. Other new findings confirm that Ceres is laden with ice, which lurks in the soil below the surface and even builds up in crater bottoms. The findings were presented Thursday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Ref. USAToday.

Landslides on Ceres reflect hidden ice

Massive landslides, similar to those found on Earth, are occurring on the asteroid Ceres. That's according to a new study adding to the growing evidence that Ceres retains a significant amount of water ice. Ref. Source 3x.
