Space exploration is mind blowing! I absolutely love it!

It's interesting that Dawn was left in orbit around Ceres. Several other spacecrafts visiting foreign bodies were carefully disposed of, such as Rosetta that was crashed into comet 67P or Cassini entering Saturn's atmosphere. At least for Cassini, there was a concern that life from Earth might contaminate one of Saturn's moons if it crashed into it and large parts of the spacecraft survived the collision. Is there no such concern with Ceres? Not that Ceres itself would host life, but maybe could carry it somewhere else.

If the idea is contamination control at end of mission then it doesn't make sense to crash the spacecraft into Ceres. Ceres has no dense atmosphere to burn up the spacecraft (sterilising it by heating). Instead because of the lack of atmosphere it would simply crash into the surface contaminating it entirely.

The particular colours and formations of Vestalogical material appear to span the art history periods impressionist (Monet-ish), abstract expressionism (Jackson Polak-ish), and constructivism (somewhere between Malevich and Kandinsky-ish). Add to that - that the two major impact craters appear of equal size and circumferentially intersect each others’ circular centres and create the shared ogival form known as a ‘Vesica Pisces’ and I think we should take this talented asteroid very seriously!

Exciting! There are sights of wonder to be seen, but not in our lifetime. Thanks for showing this.

Watching those real images, makes me respect Elite Dangerous (game) developers so much more. To those who don't know what Elite Dangerous is, it's a space simulator(ish) sci-fi game, where you're able to go anywhere in Milky Way, but the detail of our Solar system is so good, they actually take real info from NASA and other places and make game as realistic as possible. Those planets and asteroids literally look like game footage, it's so well done. On some reason you can't land on moon yet tho, they probably working on extreme detail, but it's all so realistic. Only other devs who have put such detail into their game, were Arma 3 developers and they actually got arrested in Greece for "spying" on military base. They wanted to record real footage of real military bases and add some of that stuff into their game.

@Shinkaze33

The whole time I was watching this video I too was thinking about Elite Dangerous' Stellar Forge system. After Stellar Forge Predicted the Trappist 1 system, Frontier should have realized they had some gold worthy of more deeply developing. The system is a triumph with the incredible star systems it generates. Honestly *THAT* is what kept me playing Elite, witnessing all the variety of planets and systems that a simplified physics model could generate.....(After 7 years playing I'm still a Mostly Harmless Elite Explorer).. ...SADLY Stellar Forge is also why I stopped playing....or rather the entire abandonment of Stellar Forge in favor of some Fortnight FPS focus with Odyssey, giving over all development to the "Pew Pew Crowd". Elite couldn't and Shouldn't have ever tried to be an FPS shooter game....wrong crowd and already a crowded sector, Elite was about the realism and FPS shooters aren't (unless people can run 20mph sideways while jumping 10 feet in the air). Realism would have looked more like "Lone Echo" with a focus on interacting with objects in your immediate space, like floating in Zero G up to an asteroid and doing an EVA to investigate some interesting discoveries...Instead we now have a weird Minimall environment that actually breaks the "no artifical gravity" lore. (on Fleet Carriers notice the decks are not perpendicular to the direction of travel, everyone should be sliding across the decks from the thrust of the ship)...le sigh. ....Anyhow I hope in the future someone creates an updated version of Stellar Forge with all the new planetary Genesis information we have learned over the past decade.
