By planetary standards Ceres, named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, is tiny, but by asteroidal ones it is a whopper. |
Indeed so could Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, and Pluto, a dwarf planet even farther off than Neptune. |
Sparrowhawks have greenish yellow legs and blue-grey beaks with greenish yellow ceres. |
Exposed skin of the ceres, dewlaps, horns, bills or legs may be brightly colored red or blue. |
Most of the focus is on Europa and Enceladus, moons of Jupiter and Saturn respectively, but Ceres may now join the list. |
Currently, Eris, Pluto, and the former asteroid Ceres fall into this category. |
