[00:00:00]There's an asteroid in space so [music] massive it almost became a planet. It's called Ceres, the largest object [music] in the entire asteroid belt. It's nearly 1,000 km wide with enough gravity to pull itself into a sphere. Most [music] asteroids are just broken rocks, but Ceres is something much bigger. If an object like this ever hit Earth, civilization wouldn't survive it. And the scariest part is space is filled with objects [music] we still haven't found.
