The article provides guidance for observing dwarf planet 1 Ceres, located within the constellation Cetus the Whale, approaching the double star HD 2447. Optimal viewing for Ceres is recommended around ...

When NASA’s Dawn spacecraft approached Ceres, the team expected dust, craters, and silence. Instead, the dwarf planet revealed blinding bright spots, deep fractures, and strange chemical signatures ...

Dwarf planet 1 Ceres, an eighth-magnitude object, is observed in close angular proximity to a fainter ninth-magnitude background star, located 6’ southwest of the background star. Ceres is positioned ...

The end of this entry's definition reads: "The largest known dwarf planets are: Eris, Pluto, Ceres, Makemake, and 2015 RR245." Why is 2015 RR245 listed as one of the largest dwarf planets? For ...

More than 50 times further from the Sun than Earth, the tiny dwarf planet Makemake is one of the last places you'd expect to find an intact gaseous atmosphere. Not only is it incredibly cold, being ...
