Comment: The sources cited in this article are either passing mentions or database listings. The Toharu Quadrangle itself is probably a better target for article creation, as it's the focus of most of the studies that tangentially mention Juling. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:04, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Juling is a crater on the surface of the dwarf planet and large asteroid Ceres. It is in the Toharu Quadrangle, located northeast of the namesake crater.[3] It is named after the Orang Asli spirit of crops much like other craters on Ceres.[4] Its name was officiated on December 4, 2015 by the International Astronomical Union.[1]
Juling is an example of a crater that is permanently shadowed. The northern wall of the crater is cast in shadow for the vast majority of the year, so at least part of the crater is shadowed at any given point. Juling is relatively far from the poles compared to other permanently shadowed craters. This is likely due to Ceres' low axial tilt of only 4°.[5][6]
It is believed that Juling has subsurface ice due to the flow of materials. This suggests that the crter is relatively young because ice doesn't remain stable for long periods of time.[7][8]
