Dwarf planet Ceres has rare organic material delivered by asteroids by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 29, 2025 Organic molecules, critical components for life, have been identified on Ceres, the dwarf planet located within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

These findings suggest that the building blocks of life may have been inherent in Solar System remnants from its early formation, potentially…
