Dwarf Planets

Recent studies have revealed that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, is more than a rocky celestial body; it’s actually a frozen ice world. Scientists analyzing data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft discovered that Ceres contains a significant amount of water ice beneath its crust, particularly at mid-to-high latitudes. This has led to the conclusion that Ceres could hold vast ice deposits, potentially mixed with salts and clays.
