Ceres' surface

author: Walter B. Myers/Novapix

reference: a-ast99-92001

Image Size 300 DPI: 33 * 25 cm

What is known about Ceres' surface is that it has an albedo (surface brightness) about the same as the Earth's Moon and never gets warmer than minus 30º F. In this image the artist is suggesting a lunar-like terrain modified by the presence of water ice.
