Asteroides Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Asteroids Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Ceres and Vesta are the two largest bodies of the asteroid belt, a region located between Mars and Jupiter. Since August 2006, Ceres is considered a dwarf planet. Ceres (left) has a diameter of about 950 km. Image obtained in January 2004. The image on the right, obtained on 14 and 16 May 2007, shows the asteroid Vesta. Its diameter is about 530 km. These Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta and Ceres show two of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. At least 100,000 asteroids inhabit the asteroid belt, a reservoir of leftover material from the formation of our solar-system planets 4.6 billion years ago. The International Astronomical Union named Ceres one of three dwarf planets in 2006. Ceres is round like planets in our solar system, but it does not clear debris out of its orbit as our planets do.

Asteroide Vesta seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - Asteroid Vesta - Photo obtained in visible view of the Vesta asteroid in May 1996 by the Hubble Space Telescope. The images reveal a huge impact crater 450 km in diameter south of the asteroid; the original image is at the top left, modeled in 3D on the right. Astronomers have used the Hubble Space telescope to discover a giant impact crater on the asteroid Vesta. <BR>Left is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Vesta, taken in May 1996 when the asteroid was 110 million miles from Earth. The asymmetry of the asteroid and “” nub”” and the south pole is suggestive that it suffered a large impact event. Center is a color-encoded elevation map of Vesta that clearly shows the giant 285- mile diameter impact basin and “” bull 's-eye”” central peak. Right is a 3-D computer model of the asteroid Vesta synthesized from Hubble topographic data. The crater's 8-mile high central peak can clearly be seen near the pole. At the bottom an

Brown dwarf with asteroid ring - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star surrounded by an asteroid belt. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet illuminated by the star. This brown dwarf is host to a disk composed primarily of asteroids and boulders. The light from this dwarf is barely enough to illuminate the surface of this primitive planet. At a distance of about 1.5 million miles, the orbit of this planet is aligned to the plane of the rings with the result that they appear as a fuzzy line occulting the glowing face of this brown dwarf

Asteroide Vesta and other asteroides - Asteroid Vesta compared to other asteroids - Comparison of the sizes of the nine asteroides visits to date by space probes. The asteroid Vesta, with a diameter of 530 km, is the largest. This composite image shows the comparative sizes of nine asteroids. Up until now, Lutetia, with a diameter of 81 miles (130 kilometers), was the largest asteroid visited by a spacecraft, which occurred during a flyby. Vesta, which is also considered a protoplanet because it's a large body that almost became a planet, dwarfs all other small bodies in this image, with its diameter sizing up at approximately 330 miles (530 kilometers)

Illustration of a triple system of asteroids - Triple system of asteroids -Artwork - Artist's view of two small asteroids (Romulus and Remus) orbiting asteroid 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is about 380 km long and is one of the largest members of the asteroid belt. Two small asteroids are orbiting a larger one known since 1866 as 87 Sylvia. Sylvia is measuring 380 x 260 x 230 km; its moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction. The closest and newly discovered moonlet, orbiting about 710 km from Sylvia, is Remus, a body only 7 km across and circling Sylvia every 33 hours. The second, Romulus, orbits at about 1360 km in 87.6 hours and measures about 18 km across. The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

This imaginary high - mass brown dwarf has a larger disk than the previous renderings. The perspective is from the equator of an airless planet, orbiting the brown dwarf at a distance of about 4 million miles. This planet's orbit is very nearly aligned to the plane of the rings, hence the debris appears as a sword - like straight line

This artist's concept illustrates a dead star, or “” white dwarf,””” surrounded by the bits and pieces of a disintegrating asteroid. Asteroids are leftover scraps of planetary material. They form early on in a star's history when planets are forming out of collisions between rocky bodies. When a star like our sun dies, shrinking down to a skeleton of its former self called a white dwarf, its asteroids get jostled about. If one of these asteroids gets too close to the white dwarf, the white dwarf's gravity will chew the asteroid up, leaving a cloud of dust

Asteroide Eros seen by the probe NEAR - Asteroid Eros seen by NEAR spacecraft - Mosaic of images obtained by the probe Near on 26 October 2000 showing at a distance of 6.4 km from the asteroid. The smallest rocks seen in this photo measure 1.4m. 433 Eros is an asteroid of the family of Amors and is about 30 km long. This image mosaic was taken in the early hours of October 26, 2000, as NEAR Shoemaker made its low-altitude flyover of Eros. At the time of closest approach, the camera was looking at a region just 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) away. Much of the surface is covered in rocks of all sizes and shapes, set on a gently rounded surface. Other regions are smooth, suggesting accumulation of fine regolith. The smallest rocks seen are about 1.4 meters (5 feet) across

Brown dwarf & debris ring from an oblique perspective - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star about 60 times the mass of Jupiter, surrounded by a disc of dust and rocks. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet enlighted by the star. A small, barren planet orbits obliquely to the plane of a massive set of concentric dust rings surrounding a brown dwarf of about 60 Jupiter masses. These rings are evocative of Saturn's famous rings of rock and ice, however there is likely no ice in the rings around this dwarf. Recent observations have revealed that some brown dwarfs may be surrounded by rings of dust. While the origin of these rings, and the brown dwarfs themselves, is unclear, it's thought that material from these rings may even coalesce into planets, providing some brown dwarfs with their own solar systems

Impact on the Moon - Moon Little splat: 10 million years after the Moon's surface has cooled, an impact with another small body formed from the ring surrounding the Earth probably occurred. This could explain the two very different faces of today's Moon - 10 million years after Moon's cooling: Today's moon was not the only one formed from the ring. There were several others, orbiting at the Lagrange points. The orbit of one was not stable and it eventually drifted into the larger moon in a slow-motion impact that caused the smaller satellite to pancake, spreading itself over an entire hemisphere, creating the mismatched sides the moon has today. An unlucky witness to the “” little splat”” would have seen a tsunami of molten rock roaring up over the horizon

Asteroide Ida seen by Galileo probe - Asteroid Ida seen by Galileo spacecraft - Mosaic of five images obtained by the Galileo probe on 28 August 1993 between 3000 and 3800 km from the asteroid. Recolorised image. This false-color view of the asteroid 243 Ida is a mosaic of five image frames acquired by the Galileo spacecraft's solid-state imaging system at ranges of 3,057 to 3,821 kilometers (1,900 to 2,375 miles) on August 28, 1993. Ida is the second asteroid ever encountered by a spacecraft. It appears to be about 52 kilometers (32 miles) in length, more than twice as large as Gaspra, the first asteroid observed by Galileo in October 1991

Artist's view of the asteroid 2060 Chiron: (2060) Chiron, also designed as 95P/Chiron, is a centaur type cometary asteroid, an ice body of 166 kilometres of diameter orbiting around the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. 2060 Chiron, also known as 95P/Chiron, is a minor planet in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered in 1977 it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs - bodies orbiting between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Besides the four giant planets, Chiron and 10199 Chariklo, also a centaur, are the only other bodies in the Solar System known to have rings. Although it was initially called an asteroid and classified only as a minor planet with the designation “” 2060 Chiron””, it was later found to exhibit behavior typical of a comet. Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet, and is accordingly also known by the cometary designation “” 95P/Chiron””

Detourning a threatening asteroid - Illustration - Deflecting an asteroid - Illustration - Attempt to deflect an asteroid threatening the Earth using spacecraft using an electromagnetic catapult as a means of propulsion. Several mass drivers are attached to an asteroid to push it into a non-earth impacting course. A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket spacelaunch that would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds

Asteroid belts around the star Epsilon Eridani - Asteroid belts around Epsilon Eridani - Artist's view of the planetary system around the star Epsilon Eridani. This star is located 10 years from Earth. Observations made by the Spitzer space telescope in 2008 show that this system has two asteroid belts. An exoplanet had already been discovered around this star in 2000. This artist's conception shows the closest known planetary system to our own, called Epsilon Eridani. Observations from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope show that the system hosts two asteroid belts, in addition to previously identified candidate planets and an outer comet ring. Epsilon Eridani is located about 10 light - years away in the constellation Eridani. It is visible in the night skies with the naked eye. The system's inner asteroid belt appears as the yellowish ring around the star, while the outer asteroid belt is in the foreground. The outermost comet ring is too far out to be seen in this view, but comets orig
