Abstract

OBSERVING Following 1 Ceres is going to be a lot of fun this month. NASA's Dawn spacecraft - the first mission to a dwarf planet - arrived at Ceres in 2015 and sent back photos and other data before running out of fuel in October 2018. Although officially pronounced dead on November 1st that year, mission scientists expect the probe to orbit Ceres for at least another 50 years before it spirals downward and crashes onto the dwarf planet's surface.
