The day started with Nawaal asking frome me to sit on net. We discoved about asteroid ceres that is the dwarf planet in the asteroid belt that exists between Mars and Jupiter.
We read about dawn mission that has sent pictures of Ceres after passing from Vesta (another large asteroid). I also found out about the discovery of Ceres by Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi in 1 January 1801.
Further I read that Vesta has a large crater that can fill Pacific Ocean. There has been long search for the missing planet between Mars and Jupiter as the gap was too large between them for any plant not to exist.
Dawrf Planets do not have a clear orbit.
Then we search and found out that the space craft Dawn has sent pictures of the dwarf planet Ceres. (Listen its pronunciation). The planet lies in the asteroid belt.
Dawn Mission is desognated as " A journey to the beginning of the Solar System".
The planet Ceres was discovered by Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi (his full name was Geoacchino Giuseppe Maria Ubaldo Nicole Piazzi) on 1 January 1801.
The four largest asteroid of the asteroid belt are
- Ceres
- Vesta
- Pallas
- Hygiea
Vesta has a large crater that can fill Pacific Ocean. .
