Dawn Probe Slowly Approaches Ceres

As Dawn finally reaches the asteroid belt, passing Vesta on its way to
Ceres, it will of course tell us much about the inner planets. Ceres
is a very small planetoid, which hasn't cooked like Venus, sprouted
like Earth or self-destructed like Mars. It won't be moonlike, because
there are no nearby gravo-magnetic dynamos to keep it perky.

Ceres will be just like a frozen dinner left untouched in the icebox,
ready for some real heat to get put onto it by Dawn.
