NASA uploaded video showing an animation of what a flight over the dwarf planet of Ceres would look like illustrating the different craters that can be seen including “Occator”, “Ikapati”, “Ahuna Mons”, “Urvara”, “Haulani”, “Yalode” and “Dantue”
The video was uploaded onto the social media page for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on January 29, 2016.
The video was created using images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, a probe that was launched in 2007 to study Ceres and another possible planet called Vesta.
The simulated flight was created at Germany’s National aeronautics and space research centre (DLR) in Cologne. (Reuters)
