• Resumen

  • The latest from NASA's Dawn probe, which has been in orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres since April last year, suggests this tiny world has water ice on the surface and craters that provide a window on its interior. A spectacular view of the beguiling bright spots at the heart of the 92-kilometer-wide Occator crater from just 375 kilometers up was just one of the latest findings unveiled by the mission team at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, on Mar 22.
