Asteroides Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Asteroids Ceres and Vesta...

IMAGE number
PIX4583529
Image title
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. The image at right was taken on May 14 and 16, 2007. Using Hubble, astronomers mapped Vesta's southern hemisphere, a region dominated by a giant impact crater formed by a collision billions of years ago. The crater is 285 miles (456 kilometers) across, which is almost equal to Vesta's 330-mile (530-kilometer) diameter. The Hubble image of Ceres on the left, taken on January 2004, reveals bright and dark regions on the asteroid's surface that could be topographic features, such as craters, and/or areas containing different surface material. Ceres has a diameter of approximately 950 kilometers
