There's some new papers on Ceres
"Recent cryovolcanic activity at Occator crater on Ceres" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-1146-8 "Evidence of non-uniform crust of Ceres from Dawn’s high-resolution gravity data" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-1019-1 |

Excellent news regarding the salts of Occator Crater!!!
One may assume that for small planetary bodies like Ceres, the volatiles like H, O or H2O should have vanished into outer space over geologic time scales. But curiously, we see here what seems to be the remnant of a subsurface layer or pocket of a water-dominated liquid. And no tidal forces engendered by a large planetary body... Eager to see a rover in Occator Crater! |
