Ceresis thelargest objectin theasteroid beltbetween the orbits ofMarsandJupiter. Ceres was the firstasteroiddiscovered, on 1 January 1801 byGiuseppe PiazziatPalermo Astronomical Observatoryin Sicily. Originally considered aplanet, it was reclassified as an asteroid in the 1850s after the discovery of dozens of other objects in similar orbits. In 2006, it wasreclassified againas adwarf planet (like Pluto, but Ceres is the only one that always stays within Neptune’s orbit).It is 580 miles in diameter,and is the only asteroid large enough for its gravityto maintain it as a spheroid.

In 2015, NASA’s space probeDawn discovered several brightfeatures on the surface of Ceres.Dawnfound Ceres’s surface to be a mixture of water ice andhydratedminerals such ascarbonatesandclay. Data suggests that Ceres’ mantle and core are a muddy ice-rock mix, while it’s crust is less dense and about 1/3 ice. The bright spots are highly reflective and thought to be ice or salt, specifically hydrated magnesium sulfate that rose to the surface, and sublimated (changed from a solid to a gas, without passing through a liquid state) leaving the salt deposits behind.
