Ceres Largest Asteroid'

Chapter forth seven as with an  investigation of all unknown celestial body. Ceres is a perfectly round dwarf planet otherwise known as the largest asteroid in the solar belt. It is releasing water vapor from its surface at a rate of 13lb (6kg) per second unbelievably from its frozen ocean. Ceres is a perfectly round 'dwarf planet' and also the largest asteroid in the solar system thought to have a magnetic field. Scientists found that it is releasing water vapor. As (illustrated) from its surface at a rate of six kilograms per second.  
The study published in Nature confirms previous suspicions that Ceres contains abundant water and could provide important new clues to the origin of life on Earth. Ceres is the closest dwarf planet to the sun and is located in the asteroid belt, making it the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. Ceres is the smallest of the bodies currently classified as a 'dwarf planet'. Scientists think Ceres may have an ocean and possibly an atmosphere. It lies less than three times as far as Earth from the sun close enough to feel the warmth of the star allowing ice to melt and reform.

Nasa's Dawn spacecraft has been making its way to Ceres from the asteroid. Vesta since September 2012. It is due to land next year. There is high interest in the mission because Ceres is one possible 'destination for realistic human colonization' given its abundance of ice, water, and minerals. 
Ceres is gushing with water as liquid spouting from 'planet's' surface could reveal how life began on Earth. The round dwarf planet otherwise known as the largest asteroid in the solar system is releasing water vapour at a rate of 13lb (6kg) per second. Observations by the European Space Agency's Herschel telescope suggest it could be coming from 'geysers or ice volcanoes' as of  now never been mapped as these features make it unique.
Water is gushing from the surface of a small 'planet' in the solar system, say scientists. Observations by the European Space Agency's Herschel telescope suggest it could be coming from geysers or ice volcanoes. Dr Michael Kuppers, of the ESA's lab in Villanueva de la Canada in Spain, and colleagues directly identified water molecules escaping from two regions of Ceres - the first of the smaller class of planets to be discovered and the closest to Earth.

It orbits the sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is very similar to Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus - both considered potential sources for harboring life. 
Dr Kuppers said infrared images picked up chemical signatures of water vapor around Ceres 'originating from localised sources that seem to be linked to mid-latitude regions'. The water evaporation could come from ice near the surface or volcanoes erupting 'volatiles such as water instead of molten rocks,' he said. The finding is timely given that Nasa's Dawn spacecraft will soon visit. Ceres is a fresh from its successful mission to another intriguing - small world, the asteroid Vesta. 
Dr Kuppers said: 'Although ground and space-based observations may further map the behavior of Ceres over its orbit the Dawn spacecraft mission arriving to orbit Ceres in early 2015 is expected to be key in providing a long-term follow-up on the water out gassing behavior of Ceres.' Distant journey: An artist's impression of the Dawn space probe approaching Ceres. The spacecraft is due to land on the 'planet' next year Ceres is the closest dwarf planet to the sun and is located in the solar system's asteroid belt, making it the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. 
Ceres is the smallest of the bodies current classified as a 'dwarf planet' As Dr Humberto Campins, of Central Florida University reviewed the study for the journal and said the presence and abundance of water in bodies like Ceres could have relevance for the origin of life on Earth and the large-scale migration of planets such as Jupiter. One scenario suggests as the giant planets migrated they disturbed populations of small rocky and icy asteroids and comets which hit the early Earth and Moon delivering organic molecules and water onto Earth.
