Approaching the planet may have life

The NASA Center of the United States is preparing to conduct in-depth studies on Ceres - the largest asteroid in the solar system , researchers believe this is a life-capable planet.

Discovery News reported that in March 2015, NASA's Dawn space exploration ship will orbit the planet Ceres - the largest asteroid in the meteorite belt between Mars and Jupiter. Researchers believe that Ceres is an asteroid that can have life with a warm and humid surface, implying potential similar to the Europa Moon of Jupiter and Saturn's Enceladus satellite.

The asteroid is capable of 950km of Ceres life and is considered a distinct asteroid with a mantle-like rock core made of ice, in addition, the researchers also discovered many minerals containing the water. Ceres surface.

Jian-Yang Li of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, analyzed that water makes up 40 percent of Ceres 'weight, making it possible for the planet to have Ceres' life to become the most water-rich in the Solar System , do not count the Earth. However, it is not yet confirmed that the water on Ceres is currently in liquid form.

Ceres is located 2.8 astronomical units from the Sun (astronomical unit is the distance between the Sun and Earth, 1 AU equals 150 million km), much closer to Europa and Enceladus. In addition, in early 2014, scientists announced a new discovery about the phenomenon of water evaporation on the surface of this habitable planet. Even so, Ceres's evaporation is not yet evidence of internal heat, but probably because the ice near Ceres's surface is heated by the Sun.

According to scientists, the space exploration ship Dawn will gather more information after entering the orbit of Ceres asteroid in the future, thereby facilitating the houses. Science conducted more in-depth research on this life-capable planet.
