Claims to have water reserves on the asteroid Ceres in space
Washington, August 11, 2020, Tuesday
The largest body of water has been found on the smallest asteroid called Ceres in space, so scientists believe that there is a possibility of life on this planet. However, this water appears to have a high salt content. This research claim is based on data published by the US space agency NASA. A research paper has also been published in this regard. In addition to nature astronomy, according to information published in Nature Geo Science and Nature Communications, Ceres is a salt water reservoir on the asteroid planet with a layer of ice on it.
NASA used drone technology to detect and calculate the presence of water on the asteroid. Carol Raymond, lead researcher on spacecraft drones, says that the amount of water found on the planet Ceres Shudra is not the largest source of water in space. The planet is about 150 km in diameter. Rounded by its own gravity. Other asteroids such as Pallas, Juno, Hijia, etc. are found in irregular shapes. A clear picture of the planet was taken by the Hubble Telescope in 2006-07. The planet has a layer of ice and the middle part is rocky so it was already thought to be a source of water between the rocks and the ice. Not only that, the weather was also forecast to be mild. Ceres is the name of the Roman god of agriculture. The planet was discovered by Guisepp Piazzi on January 1, 1901. This planet is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
