Aliens may have lived in our solar system, according to new research.

NASA scientists have unveiled evidence that the dwarf planet Ceres —the largest body in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter—may have harbored the right conditions to support life in its distant past.

According to findings published following studies from NASA’s Dawn mission , Ceres once possessed a combination of subterranean water, organic molecules, and, crucially, a long-lasting source of chemical energy.

The dwarf planet is cold now, but the new research paints a picture of Ceres hosting a deep, long-lived energy source that may have maintained habitable conditions in the past.

Science data from NASA’s Dawn mission, which ended in 2018, previously showed that the bright, reflective reg
