Description

[edit]

Català: Vista en tall de l'asteroide 1 Ceres. Observacions de 1 Ceres, l'asteroide més gran conegut, han posat de manifest que l'objecte pot ser un "mini planeta," i poden contenir grans quantitats de gel d'aigua pura sota de la seva superfície. Les observacions del Telescopi Espacial Hubble de la NASA també mostren que Ceres comparteix característiques dels planetes terrestres rocosos, com la Terra. La forma de Ceres és gairebé rodona com la de la Terra, el que suggereix que l'asteroide podria tenir un "interior diferenciat", amb un nucli intern rocós i una escorça externa prima i plena de pols.
English: Cutaway view of asteroid 1 Ceres. Observations of 1 Ceres, the largest known asteroid, have revealed that the object may be a "mini planet," and may contain large amounts of pure water ice beneath its surface. The observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope also show that Ceres shares characteristics of the rocky, terrestrial planets like Earth. Ceres' shape is almost round like Earth's, suggesting that the asteroid may have a "differentiated interior," with a rocky inner core and a thin, dusty outer crust.
Español: Estructura interna del asteroide 1 Ceres.
Français : Vue en coupe de l'astéroïde (1) Cérès, avec textes en français. Les observations de ce corps céleste, le plus grand de la ceinture d'astéroïdes orbitant entre Mars et Jupiter, ont permis de le classer dans la catégorie des « planètes naines », et ont révélé de grandes quantités de glace d'eau sous sa surface. Les clichés pris par le télescope spatial Hubble de la Nasa ont également montré que Céres partage certaines caractéristiques avec les planètes telluriques comme la Terre. La croûte de Céres est presque sphérique, suggérant l'existence d'un « intérieur différencié », avec un noyau rocheux, un manteau de glace et une croûte de poussière.
Italiano: Struttura interna del pianeta nano Cerere. Osservazioni condotte con il Telescopio spaziale Hubble indicano che Cerere ha forma sferoidale, suggerendo che l'interno dell'asteroide sia differenziato in un nucleo roccioso (composto da silicati e matalli), un mantello composto da ghiaccio d'acqua e una sottile crosta esterna, composta da ghiaccio d'acqua e sminerali leggeri.

עברית : תרשים חתך בכוכב הלכת הננסי קרס. מתצפיות שנערכו על קרס משערים כי הכוכב עשוי להכיל כמויות גדולות של מים מתחת לשכבת האבק העליונה. תצפיות בטלסקופ החלל האבל הראו גם כי קיימים קווי דמיון בין מאפייני קרקע סלעיים של קרס ובין כדור הארץ. צורתו של קרס עגולה כמעט כמו כדור הארץ ומכאן ההשערה כי תוכו עשוי שכבות בעלות אופי שונה, עם ליבה סלעית ושכבה דקה עליונה.
