I read somewhere that when Dawn gets to Vesta it might be able to determine if it's spherical as Ceres is, and thus qualify to become another dwarf planet. Now that I hear Dawn might head off to Pallas, that makes me wonder if what I read for some time previous, and that Vesta has already been visited. Though if it were spherical and thus another dwarf planet I probably would have read about it by now.
Are there any cylindrical maps of Ceres out there? Thanks to jumpjack I now have icosahedra and gores of all the spherical satellites as well as all the planets and the Sun, so all I'm now missing is Ceres. |
