American Space Agency, NASA, is preparing a new space flight missions to get to the planet named Ceres. The planet is a celestial body that is located between Mars and Jupiter.
The mission was undertaken because NASA wants to learn more about the small planet. Some time ago, precisely on February 12, NASA conducted an investigation on this planet and find some white spots which allegedly is a crater.
This fact is known through images taken by NASA's successful spacecraft through the Solar Probe Plus. When the photos were taken, the probe is at a distance of 52 thousand miles (approximately 83 thousand kilometers) from Ceres. It was because he was able to photograph Ceres pretty well.
"The latest pictures, which has a resolution of 4.9 miles (7.8
kilometers) per pixel, representing a sharp view of Ceres until today,"
said NASA astronomer as quoted by Softpedia, Tuesday (02/24/2015).On 6 March, the spacecraft Dawn spacecraft will fly towards Ceres. But this mission is not to reach the planet's surface but is merely approaching the orbit of Ceres. The occasion will be used by researchers space, to study the planet deeper.
Astronomers believe, they can peer farther anatomy of the dwarf planet. So that will bring a better understanding of the meaning behind the white spots (crater) on the planet
