Are Ceres and Vesta giant asteroids or dwarf planets and how did our Dawn mission explore them? How do we track asteroids moving through our solar system? And... is Pluto a planet? 🤔 🎧 📲 Listen & subscribe to @NASAJPL's "On a Mission" podcast for more: go.nasa.gov/35lCHqq

Ceres, with a key landmark, the cryovolcano Ahuna Mons, visible on the horizon. This was one of the last views our Dawn spacecraft transmitted before its mission came to an end one year ago. See more from Dawn’s voyage to the asteroid belt: solarsystem.nasa.gov/dawn

Four years ago today, our Dawn spacecraft captured this sequence as it approached the dwarf planet Ceres. This week, the Space Foundation presented the Dawn mission team with the 2019 John L. "Jack" Swigert, Jr., Award for Space Exploration: go.nasa.gov/2P1OJhT

Today in 2015, NASA’s Dawn spacecraft arrived at the mysterious dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn’s mission has ended, but here on Earth the science of Ceres goes on. Researchers want to know: what processes drove salty water to Ceres’ surface? go.nasa.gov/2tJny1y

Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum up. How do you capture an 11-year odyssey through the asteroid belt to study the origins of the solar system? It’s not easy, but we gave it a shot: go.nasa.gov/2OdANjv #DuskforDawn

Rolling stones: these tracks in Urvara crater on Ceres came from boulders rolling down the crater’s walls. I captured this view in July, from an altitude of about 28 miles. Details: go.nasa.gov/2xBQSte
