It paled against spectacular Pluto its tiny sister world, planetoid (1) Ceres, the dwarf planet closest to Earth that is observed by a space probe since 2015. Though it is a surprising object, too, with a mountain like there is no other in the solar system, with brightly shining salt pans - and with a camouflaging hood. For Ceres does not belong where it is now, between Mars and Jupiter, it only pretends that it did.
Where did it come from? The winter 2016/17 provided astonishing clues to Ceres’ strange history which are presented in this book.
’Join a fascinating trip to Ceres in this book and marvel at its impressive images to a body that has not fully managed to become a true planet and was caught in the protoplanetary stage.’ Dr Rainer Riemann, astrophysicist

Ceres Pluto little sister The Dawn spacecraft over the volcanoes of a dwarf planet 1 Codex Regius Dr Rainer Riemann Reviews
Our solar system does not have only eight major planets. Unfortunately, this discussion presents only one side of the debate on planet definition. The IAU decision was adopted by just four percent of its members, most of whom are not planetary scientists but other types of astronomers, and was rejected by an equal number of professional planetary scientists immediately in a formal petition. These scientists instead adhere to the geophysical planet definition, which rejects the notion that an object must clear its orbit to be a planet, focusing instead on the object's instrinsic properties rather than its location. According to the geophysical definition, a planet is any non-self-luminous spheroidal body orbiting a star, free floating in space, or even orbiting another planet. If an object is not a star itself and is large enough and massive enough to be squeezed into a round or nearly round shape by its own gravity, it is a planet.
According to this definition, Ceres IS a planet, and its 19th century demotion was in error. That is understandable since 19th century telescopes could not resolve Ceres into a disk, so no one knew it is spherical and rounded by its gravity. Today, we know this, so we know it meets the geophysical definition of planet.
Dwarf planets are planets too, in spite of the controversial IAU decision. Alan Stern coined the term "dwarf planet" in 1991 to designate a third class of planets in addition to terrestrials and jovians. The four percent of the IAU who voted in 2006 misused his term by stating dwarf planets are not planets at all. The Dawn and New Horizons missions have revealed Ceres, Pluto, and even Vesta to be complex geological worlds with the same processes as the larger planets. The only difference is they are smaller. A scientist on the Dawn mission even stated, "perhaps Vesta should be seen as the solar system's smallest terrestrial planet." At minimum, it is a protoplanet, a borderline case that is almost but not quite in hydrostatic equilibrium.
It is therefore misleading to say Pluto--or Ceres--are planets no more. That statement is true only if one accepts the IAU position and embraces the dynamical planet definition.
Kuiper Belt Objects that are in hydrostatic equilibrium are both small planets and KBOs, at least according to the geophysical definition. The two are not mutually exclusive. The first tells us where they are while the second tells us what they are.
If you want a good overview of a Ceres you will find it here. Outside of the quirky use of "Millard" it provides pretty complete coverage of the dwarf planet/asteroid. Has the latest data. Good information on one of the least studied of the large bodies in the inner solar system
This is a great introduction to the (dwarf) planet Ceres, which has the potential to be the next self-sustaining home of our human species. Discusses the most recent discoveries and includes a description of the Dawn spacecraft.
