Скачать или смотреть Ceres, The Enigma of the Inner Solar System |

Dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is a fascinating destination for intergalactic exploration. First discovered in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi, and visited by NASA's Dawn spacecraft in 2015, Ceres has puzzled scientists for centuries. Initially classified as an asteroid, Ceres was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 due to its size and unique characteristics. Although Ceres comprises 25% of the asteroid belt's total mass, it is still 14 times smaller than Pluto.
Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of corn and harvests, and has potential for life as it contains water. With a radius of 296 miles, it is 1/13 the radius of Earth and located at an average distance of 257 million miles from the sun, taking 22 minutes for sunlight to reach it. Join us on a journey to uncover the secrets of Ceres, a world full of mysteries waiting to be explored.
