     Apod 3.2

This video is one of the best video images of Ceres. The largest asteroid in our solar system. It has such a high mass, that it can make itself spherical. A cool fact is that under its hard exterior, its filled with water. The space craft that took this was from NASA and was called the DAWN mission. Ceres is a dwarf planet and an asteroid. Ceres has a nine hour rotational day, and is unexplored. The DAWN mission started in 2010-2011, and is still going. The space craft will attempt to revolve around Ceres taking pictures. Ceres could actually be a key factor to how our solar system came to be how it is today. The space craft is expected to reach Ceres in March. A cool thing about Ceres is that it is 1k kilometers wide and is orbiting between Mars and Jupiter at this moment. The video is a 20-frame video taken a week ago. The Dawn mission started at Vesta, another asteroid and is making its way to Ceres. The spacecraft has finished Vesta's exploring. Another cool fact is that Vesta is the brightest asteroid.
