Researchers used data from NASA's Dawn mission to uncover new evidence of internal organic material reservoirs on Ceres, the ...

"The significance of this discovery lies in the fact that it would confirm the existence of internal energy sources that ...

NASA's Dawn mission communicated with Earth for the last time, ending its exploration of Ceres and Vesta, the two largest ...

Dwarf planets Pluto and Ceres are also suspected of having an underground ocean, as are some of the moons of Uranus. “We know that the presence of liquid water is essential for life,” said Ojha.

Yet, this dwarf planet has some strange characteristics that set it apart from other main asteroid belt objects. This has led ...

New research on Ceres reveals hidden organic materials, suggesting subsurface reservoirs and internal energy sources.

In billions of years, our Sun will expand into a red giant, likely engulfing Earth before shrinking into a white dwarf—a dense, glowing stellar remnant. While this process destroys most planets ...

Research found that the scar developed after white dwarf ingested the surrounding planets and asteroids which were born at the same time as it, causing a concentration of metals that scar the ...

Using data from NASA's now-defunct Dawn spacecraft, scientists have discovered that the dwarf planet Ceres, the second wettest body in the solar system after Earth, could have an interior reserve ...
