Scientists may have discovered an ideal site for a new salt mining operation, but extracting the abundant resource would require a little travel, as it's located on Ceres, the largest body in the asteroid belt.
-
Dawn's science team has presented a treasure trove of data and images captured by the spacecraft as it orbits a mere 240 miles (385 km) above the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres.
-
NASA's Dawn spacecraft recently marked its one-year anniversary of becoming the first man-made object to enter orbit around a dwarf planet. Join us as we take a look at the spacecraft's many achievements in shedding light on what had previously been a little known member of our solar system, Ceres.

High resolution images snapped by NASA's Dawn spacecraft capture four of Ceres' craters in stunning detail. Dawn recently completed transitioning to its third and final mapping orbit, which will see it collect its most detailed images to date from a height of roughly 240 miles above the surface.
-
NASA's Dawn spacecraft has sent home the first images from its best-ever viewpoint around the dwarf planet Ceres, orbiting at an altitude of around 240 miles (385km). The views include a chain of craters across the body's scarred surface, and two 3D snaps, viewable through red-blue glasses.
-
Two new studies published in the journal Nature have put forward fascinating theories on the origins of the dwarf planet Ceres, and the nature of its enigmatic white spots. The studies drew on data collected by NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
