I used to live near the center of Ceres. Of course that was the one in California. Also an alien world.

Well that throws a major part of the storyline for The Expanse into the trash bin.

Always amazed by their cavalier assignment of dating to any object, mush less one they have never touched or tested. A picture is only a picture.

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and has its own gravity

Shocking, especially considering that every object with mass has its own gravity (except for Dick Cheney who has gravitas).

“extensive reservoir” of brine beneath its surface.

Well that’s just great. A dwarf planet of sea monkeys.

Is “dwarf planet” on NASA’s list of no-no names?

“Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and has its own gravity”

idiotic reporter, obviously a useless journalism degree with no science as part of it.

Crash it into MARS. It will increase Mars mass and provide more water.

Mass
ceres 9.39 × 10^20 kg
Mars 6.417 × 10^23 kg
Earth 5.9722×10^24
Venus 4.868×10^24

Well shoot, that would only increase Mars to 6.426 x 10^23. We need to increase Mars by 9 times it current size.

We need to crash Mars into Venus. Along with 100 Ceres.

This teraforming is trickier than it looks.

Ceres has its own gravity? Whose gravity might it have had, otherwise?

Ceres was discovered on the first night of the 19th century. The discoverer, Giuseppe Piazzi, was a Sicilian and named it after the patron goddess of ancient Sicily, Ceres.

Ceres is a planet now? I thought it was classified as an asteroid.
