While the volcanoes on Earth eject fiery lava, ash, and smoke, those on Ceres, a dwarf planet that orbits between Mars and Jupiter, have been spewing ice throughout its history. The chain of events leading to the discovery began in 2015 when NASA’s spacecraft Dawn, sent to explore the asteroid belt where Ceres resides, captured some high-resolution images of its icy, rocky terrain. On the dwarf planet’s crater-covered surface, was a solitary 4-km ( 13,000 feet) tall mountain.

            I think we will need some sort of thing to protect our country from all of the ice

                  Hmmm... Good question 666... Actually both are dangerous. It all depends on how cold the ice is. If it’s idk ( I don’t know) how cold. but if it’s super cold it can burn you. True fact from science teacher. Awesome and cool!!!! Learning about space in science class so. It’s cool about it. I think the planets Pluto. Awesome though
