sorae – Dwarf planet Ceres may have accumulated salt water rising from underground
This was introduced by sorae in an article on August 11, 2020.dwarf planet Ceres” is a pseudo-color image.
With a diameter of approximately 950 km, the dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Several bright areas (spots) made of salts such as sodium carbonate have been found on its surface. Data from gravity measurements taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, which observed Ceres from 2015 to 2018, revealed that salt water is trapped underground in the Occator Crater, which has a diameter of approximately 92 km.
The original article introduces research that has discovered the possibility that this salt water is still rising to the surface.
