>> Ceres seem to have more interesting variation and more carbon, possible volatiles, than the moon?
Current theory is that the moon was the result of a collision with earth. It is similar to earth because it was once part of earth. It formed under similar conditions to earth, its differences largely do to the reduced gravity and lack of plate tectonics. Planets far away form under different conditions and are therefore more different than the moon.
