Hey, remember those brights spots on the Dwarf Planet Ceres that the Dawn spacecraft discovered in 2015? It’s probably salt from an evaporated water that reached the surface from an underground ocean.
This news invalidates most recent science fiction which assumed water would be so scarce in the asteroid belt that it would be worth mining it in the outer solar system. Living in the asteroid belt might be more possible than we thought!
