Organic deposits on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres are unlikely to originate from its interior.

Impacting asteroids from outer asteroid belt may have brought it with them.

Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyse observational data from NASA 's Dawn spacecraft.

Findings help to understand where and how habitable conditions could have arisen in the Solar System .

The impact of one or more asteroids from the outer asteroid belt introduced the organic material.

Computer simulations show that these bodies are among the ones that most frequently collided with Ceres .

It is quite likely that building blocks of life were also formed in Ceres' underground ocean and perhaps even reached the surface.
