  • Journey back to 2015 when the Dawn spacecraft first orbited Ceres, the colossal dwarf planet in our inner solar system. Dive deep into the mysteries of this unique celestial body as we recall the groundbreaking discoveries made by Dawn, from hydrated salt patches to potential life-supporting reservoirs. As the probe's mission came to an end, the question arises: Should humanity return to Ceres? Join us in this Astrographics analysis as we weigh the significance and potential of revisiting the giant of the asteroid belt.

    I am beyond excited that Simon created this channel! I’m a huge fan of his to begin with and I watch all of his other channels consistently. The content and production value is incredible. The writing is beyond superior to any other similar channels. I genuinely learn an extraordinary amount of knowledge from various topics from this show about astronomy and astrophysics, to true crime and obscure history, to geopolitics and the current state of conflict around the world, to the engineering and construction of huge structures and projects.
    Simon really is a cut above the rest and I also can’t imagine how he manages to make so many videos so often for all of his channels! There’s nearly a new video each and every day on every channel! I know he has a great team behind him that helps pump out the insane levels of content, but it’s still mind boggling!

    One more great reason to do a full mission to Ceres including orbiter, lander, sample return, etc. Think how much the scientists and engineers might learn from doing this project and developing new kinds of robotics and such. And then when we go blasting off for Titan or Enceladus, we'd be even better equipped to conduct great science on the more exciting worlds.
