| Description | Herschel observations of the large asteroid Ceres led to a major discovery, namely the first detection of an exosphere made of water vapour around an asteroid. The first detection occurred on 11 October, 2012, and was confirmed from HIFI observations conducted on 24th October and 6 March 2013 (guaranteed time program MACH 11, PI L. ORourke, and follow up from a DDT, PI M. Kueppers). |

| Mission Description | Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth cornerstone mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities. |
