Ceres is the largest body in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System — it accounts for about a third of the belt's total mass. Scientists suspect a layer of water ice beneath its surface, possibly even a liquid ocean, and the bright spots in Occator crater are salt deposits. The Dawn spacecraft orbited Ceres from 2015 to 2018, capturing the most detailed images to date.
