Ceres: Pluto's little sister: The Dawn spacecraft over the volcanoes of a dwarf planet

by Codex Regius, Rainer Riemann (Preface)

It paled against spectacular its tiny sister world, planetoid (1) Ceres, the dwarf planet closest to Earth that is observed by a space probe since 2015. Though it is a surprising object, too, with a mountain like there is no other in the solar system, with brightly shining salt pans - and with a camouflaging hood. For Ceres does not belong where it is now, between Mars and Jupiter, it only pretends that it did.

Where did it come from? The winter 2016/17 provided astonishing clues to Ceres’ strange history which are presented in this book.

’Join a fascinating trip to Ceres in this book and marvel at its impressive to a body that has not fully managed to become a true planet and was caught in the protoplanetary stage.’ Dr Rainer Riemann, astrophysicist

[Annie · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 Sterne nur, weil ich viele der Schaubilder und Zeichnungen trotz des Lesens auf dem Kindle Fire nicht so vergrößern konnte, dass man die Schrift hätte lesen können.
Insgesamt jetzt auch nicht so die Überflieger-Mission leidet auch diese Buch unter Erkenntnismangel - auch wegen Instrumentenausfall an der Dawn. Lesenswert allemal.
