SEA offers an 11-minute video “Could Ceres Be Home to Alien
Life?”
Ceres is the largest asteroid, close to 500 miles in
diameter, with one third of the mass of the asteroid belt – so it may be termed
a minor planet.
It has one mountain, which may be a cryovolcano, and
apparently an underground ocean, and a considerable amount of nitrogen locked
in ammonia, which offers the possibility of organic chemistry around the bright
spots.
It would have very low gravity.
