Note: With a diameter of 945 km (587 miles), Ceres is the largest object in the main asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.  It was originally considered a planet, but was reclassified as an asteroid in the 1850s after many other objects in similar orbits were discovered.  Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be currently rounded by its own gravity.  Did you know that we have the technology to deflect an asteroid, should it come too close to earth?
