The Dawn spacecraft entered the orbit of the dwarf planet Ceres, located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, at around 10am ET this morning. Starting at 1pm ET, there will be a live feed of new images coming in from the craft available from the Slooh Observatory. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be glued to my screen to find out what exactly those bright spots are – my money is on cryovolcanoes. Because who doesn’t want to say “cryovolcano?”
