NASA Probe Snaps Stunning New Images of Dwarf Planet CeresJesse EmspakSPACE.com
NASA探测器Dawn发现Ceres表面存在冰川。矮行星Ceres上存在一种天气系统,导致小行星表面不断变化。 “这是对Ceres表面变化的首次直接检测,”罗马天体物理学和行星科学研究所的Andrea Raponi说。另一项研究表明,天体物理学研究所的贾科莫Carrozzo在行星科学家的带领下,在

NASA的黎明号(Dawn)宇宙飞船于2017年5月17日拍摄了这张谷神星(Ceres)南极区域的图像。黎明号于2007年9月27日发射,是NASA首个真正意义上的星际探测器。该任务的特点是长期驻留在两个外星天体上:巨型小行星灶神星(Vesta)和矮行星谷神星(Ceres),它们都位于火星与木星之间的主小行星带。这艘探测器被命名为黎明,...
NASA's Dawn spacecraft has snapped the best-ever images of the dwarf planet Ceres' bright spots, but the strange features still have researchers scratching their heads.
The first CERES instrument launched in 1997. Before then, beginning in 1984, the job was done by the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). The NPP will collect critical data on long-term climate change and short-term weather conditions. With NPP, NASA continues gathering key data records ...
The NASA spacecraft is currently approaching its close encounter with the dwarf planet, which is also the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and taken unprecedented images of a body once believed to be a new planet. Here's the freshest one, courtesy of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. ...
NASA’s Dawn Mission has discovered permanently shadowed regions on the dwarf planet Ceres that may contain water ice deposits. Using data fromNASA’s Dawn Mission, astronomers have identified permanently shadowed regions on the dwarf planet Ceres. These areas are likely cold enough to have trapped...
Dawn will be gently captured into orbit around Ceres on March 6. As the spacecraft delivers better images and other data, the science team will be investigating the nature and composition of the dwarf planet, including the nature of the craters and bright spots that are coming into focus. Th...
