The asteroid we call Ceres has a tale to tell. I will relate it here. Ceres was once the center of its own planet, a very long time ago, and that planet was assembling an atmosphere. It had even started, in its own way, thinking of life.
Mercury was an enormous comet back then, and its course was bringing it into our Solar System and close to the Sun. It swiped the planet that became Ceres, and set it off its orbit. From there the planet hurtled toward Earth. Mars remembers seeing this and thinking about how planets sometimes dream of life. The Planet Ceres and Earth crashed, and many things happened at this time. Part of that lost planet or perhaps a piece of the comet became the Moon, possibly with parts of Earth. The atmosphere peeled off Planet Ceres and transferred to Earth. Several planets changed orbit. Bits of Earth and Planet Ceres went flying and became the asteroid belt, Saturn’s rings, and possibly multiple other moons.
Our Earth was one of the planets that changed orbit, and neither it nor Ceres, the other planet’s core, were ever entirely round again. And interestingly, the roundest photographs of Earth do appear to be composites. This is why many people consulting their mystical sense or intuition may sometimes start to believe the Earth to be flat, since the Earth has difficulty conveying the actual situation of being a nearly-round lozenge shape; to call it a sphere is approximate. In fact, though, the atmospheric components from Planet Ceres and the lozenge features of Earth’s current shape, which help hold its crust in a more stable position than a perfect sphere could do (think of wrapping both a basketball and a football in plastic wrap, and you might see for yourself how this works rather simply), are both key factors that nurture complex life here.
Mercury later became the first planet.
