                   NASA Spacecraft Approaches a Dwarf Planet

   by George Putic

   NASA's Dawn spacecraft will make history on Friday, March 6, when it
   becomes the first man-made object to orbit a dwarf planet named Ceres.
   It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, almost 500
   million kilometers from Earth. Among other objectives, Dawn will try to
   examine two mysterious bright white spots detected on the planet's
   surface. VOA's George Putic has more.
