If Neptune didn't catch Triton we might have another Dwarf Planet in our Solar system -- maybe even another Planet or double system. We show how this could have happened. Ok, Moon May is over.

Ceres (Dwarf Planet) Part of Our Inner Solar System

Duration: 4:00
Updated: 12 Dec 2013

Ceres, minor-planet designation 1 Ceres, is the largest asteroid and the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System. It is a rock--ice body 950 km (590 mi) in diameter and the smallest identified dwarf planet. It contains about one-third of the mass of the asteroid belt. Discovered on 1 January 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi, it was the first asteroid to be identified, though it was classified as a planet at the time. It is named after Ceres, the Roman goddess of growing plants, the harvest, and motherly love. The Cererian surface is probably a mixture of water ice and various hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clays. It appears to be differentiated into a rocky core and icy mantle, and may harbor an ocean of liquid water under its surface. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, and hence even at its brightest it is still too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies. The unmanned Dawn spacecraft, launched on 27 September 2007 by NASA, is expected to be the first to explore Ceres after its scheduled arrival there in 2015. After having orbited asteroid 4 Vesta since July 2011, the spacecraft departed about 5 September 2012. Read more about Dwarf Planet Ceres below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_%28dwarf_planet%29

Dwarf Planet Ceres Arriving 2015. 90% Probability of E.T LIFE -Nibiru / Planet X's UFO

Duration: 30:10
Updated: 04 May 2014

Is this what people across the globe are seeing when it comes to the two sun phenomenon? One thing I encounter? People telling me planets the likes of Ceres are IMPOSSIBLE. Well, I made this video to show that they are MORE than possible. This Ceres IS IN OUR INNER SOLAR SYSTEM. o.0 Made to motivate you to do more research to better understand that anything is possible when it comes to space. What is a comet, after all. I even include a segment where a guy tries to debunk that anything the likes of Ceres, Nibiru or a Planet X is even a possible (an astounding reality considering). The milky way is colliding with another galaxy (and that is OLD news). Don't accept anything in stone when it comes to elliptical orbits that are unknown, speculated or formulated into a mathematical equation. Why? Ceres was first an asteroid, then a Dwarf star, and back and back again. That should tell you enough, right there. There is no reason to believe 'ANYTHING' when it comes to space (as some would want you to believe, like the one bozo I used in this video). Ceres holds water and is the one planet that NASA speculates to most likely house extra terrestrial life. The Dwarf Planet Ceres has 200 million cubic kilometers of water on it (that's more than the planet Earth). The last photo of the dwarf star was in 2004. o.0 That's ten years ago. It's also 'hugely, and widely' speculated that this planet harbors life, and it is 590 miles in diameter. The Dwarf Planet was the LARGEST known asteroid to mankind, and has been upgraded to a 'Dwarf Planet.' It's predicted that the Dwarf Planet 'Ceres' will arrive in 2015. It is in our inner solar system and is the only Dwarf Planet that is hidden in our history. It seems to hold the same attribute as what many call Nibiru. A planet X is a planet that is undiscovered... and Nibiru, due to it's being undiscovered, seems to have taken on the name to replace Planet X. That would be mistake to do so. The Dwarf Planet 'Ceres' holds such mystery that, indeed, it could very well be the infamous Nibiru (again, I am only speculating that the two may have become interwoven to be both one and the same). A comet is a planet, or moon, or large OBJECT in SPACE, that gets sucked into the gravitational pull of the sun and then burns up as it gets hotter traveling towards the sun and they start to melt. Compare the old comet Ison and planet Earth for a better idea of how incredible it is that comets are crashing into the sun like never before. Are the reptilians from the Dwarf Planet Ceres? Ceres holds more water than the Planet Earth. You decide, and ??? WILD SPECULATION? A planet that is speculated to most likely have life, that was a secret, has more water than Earth is SOMETHING TO SPECULATE ABOUT. Sheesh. DO THE RESEARCH INTO THIS ONE. IT very well may be the Planet that is causing all the mayhem to our own as it travels closer, into the inner solar system... but will it melt? Dwarf planets? A MOST INTERESTING TERM, INDEED. It's going around the sun, and it's round because gravity has pulled at it and made it round. :) More on the dwarf planet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRMijBt8Y3Q Do the research into this one and you will find your eyes opening wider. More water on it than the planet 'Earth.' 2015 will tell us more (separate missions), or will we be informed? Please check out the source video's to find out more from the people who created these select videos to get you the knowledge you need in order to do more research. :) I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)

Why Pluto went from Planet to Dwarf Planet

Duration: 4:10
Updated: 05 Apr 2014

Why has Pluto has gone from being a planet to a dwarf planet? This video explains why as well as the definition of planets and dwarf planets. The change came about when in 2005 Eris, an object with similar dimensions but around 25% more mass than Pluto, was discovered in a similar orbit to Pluto, in what's now called the Kuiper Belt. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union created firm definitions for planets and dwarf planets. A similar thing happened in the 1800s when between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter was discovered Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Pallas. They were then called planets until many more objects were discovered in the same orbit and they were all demoted to asteroids and the Asteroid Belt. Now Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Makemake and Huamea are all classified as dwarf planets.

Dwarf Planet Ceres May Harbor Life, NASA Hubble images comet ISON

Duration: 1:05
Updated: 24 Dec 2013

Dwarf Planet Ceres May Harbor Life Planet Ceres is a wonderful target for exploration but let's not build expectations too high. NASA's Dawn is going to orbit, not go drilling for life. Does Planet Ceres have Life. NASA Hubble Space Telescope color image of "Planet Ceres", the largest object in the asteroid belt. In the frenzy to find life elsewhere in the solar system, Mars or the outer gas giant planets' active moons are usually the odds-on favorites. But the "dwarf planet Ceres", the largest and most massive body in the Main Asteroid Belt, may have evolved some form of thermophilic subsurface bacteria, researchers now say. Is Planet Ceres Habitable At almost 1000 kms in diameter, icy Ceres is thought to be still warm enough inside to provide clement conditions for at least some sort of bacterial life. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has determined that Planet Ceres is likely to be differentiated. Researchers stress that Ceres is not an asteroid but, in fact, an intact, small terrestrial-like icy planet. Ceres likely had an environment that could have supported life; including internal heat and a salty liquid water ocean, said a planetary physicist Ceres probably has a greater percentage of water than Mars, Ceres may even have a weak atmosphere. McCord says life may even exist today in a residual, liquid ocean near the top of the Planet Ceres' silicate core. Although Swarf Planet Ceres doesn't have molten magma, there is heat inside, said Russell. So, I wouldn't rule out life. NASA's Dawn mission draws closer to its encounter with the dwarf planet Ceres in early 2015, excitement continues to mount for scientists looking forward to what the spacecraft might observe Planet Ceres is one of only a few places where we've found carbonates. Rivkin said. "I think other than Earth and Mars, it's Planet Ceres.". We're pretty sure we don't have meteorites like Comet ISON from Planet Ceres itself. Will China send a YUTU Jade Rabbit Rover to Ceres? Will NASA send a rover to Planet Ceres? Is The alleged nibiru, Planet X similar to Planet Ceres.
