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

Any clues as to how it got the water? Or for that matter how we got any.

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and has its own gravity, enabling the Nasa Dawn spacecraft to capture high-resolution images of its surface.

Wait, I thought every single thing with mass had gravity? Are they implying that most objects in the asteroid belt do not, in fact, have gravity?

Also, what does having gravity have to do with being able to take a picture of it? I thought all you needed for that was even the slightest bit of reflective surface? (Which is everything [minus black holes], since even fancy paint like Vantablack isn't 100% photon-absorbing?)
