“it would be more fresh water than is available on all of Earth. “

I hate statistics like this. They make it sound like it has oceans of water. All the FRESH WATER on earth would likely not fill up the Mediterrainean Sea.

................... if it was melted, it would be more fresh water than is available on all of Earth. ..........

How did the finding of water suddenly jump to fresh water????

Maybe it’s methane laced water, or sulpheric based water

No, colonizing ceres would be easier than mars if it does have as much water as claimed...

Mars may have water, but mars also has BAD water...

The researchers think when the 590-mile-wide Ceres moves closer to the sun, part of its icy surface (something never conclusively proven to exist before now) is being melted

Ah ha. Proof that global warming, or maybe I should say, Ceres warming really does exist. (Not)

To put it in context: if it was melted, it would be more fresh water than is available on all of Earth.

How can they tell that it is FRESH water? It could be loaded with any soluble substances.

Is it not a rock? “Ender’s Game” and “Enders Shadow” were wrong??

Good news! Where there is water...there can be beer. Now all we have to do is find a Planet of Barley and a Planet of Hops and we’re all set.
