What would it look like to fly over dwarf planet Ceres? Animators from the German Aerospace Center recently took actual images and height data from NASA’s robotic Dawn mission — currently visiting Ceres — to generate several fascinating virtual sequences. The featured video begins with a mock orbit around the 950-km wide space rock, with the crater featuring two of the enigmatic white spots soon rotating into view. The next sequences take the viewer around the Ceres’ north and south poles, and then over a limb of the dark world highlighting its heavily cratered surface. Here, terrain height on the asteroid belt’s largest object has been digitally doubled, while an artificial star field has been added in the background. The Dawn spacecraft will likely remain an unusual artificial moon of Ceres long after its mission concludes. News: Bright Spots Shine in Newest Dawn Ceres Images

🌌✨ 你曾經想像過飛越矮行星谷神星 (Ceres) 嘅樣子嗎?德國航天中心嘅動畫師最近利用NASA嘅無人探測器Dawn任務所收集嘅實際圖像同高度數據,製作出一系列迷人嘅虛擬序列。片段開始時展示了圍繞這個直徑約950公里嘅太空岩石進行模擬軌道,並逐漸可以看到那個充滿神秘嘅白色斑點嘅坑。接下來嘅畫面帶著觀眾環繞谷神星嘅南北極,並穿越它暗淡世界嘅邊緣,突顯出其被撞擊得滿是坑洞嘅表面。這裡,地形高度比實際數據虛擬加強,使情景更加壯觀,同時背景中加入咗人造星系。Dawn太空艦可能會長期成為谷神星嘅奇特人工衛星,印證咗人類探索宇宙嘅無限可能性!🌌🚀
