ASTEROIDThe occultation of BD+8°471 by Ceres on 13 November 1984 was observed photoelectrically at 13 sites in Mexico, Florida, and the Caribbean. These observations indicate that Ceres is an oblate spheroid having an equatorial radius of 479.6±2.4 km and a polar radius of 453.4±4.5 km. ...

it is effectively out of reach of spacecraft. Therefore, the asteroid can only be studied though spectroscopic analysis, and the image above was obtained only because the Dawn mission team was granted observing time on the Hubble telescope to obtain comparative data for the asteroids Ceres and Ve...

Our estimate for the diameter of the KBO is 886+115-131 km, which makes it slightly smaller than the largest main-belt asteroid 1 Ceres ( ~950 km). The red geometric albedo is estimated to be 0.101+0.038-0.022, more than twice the 4% value traditionally assumed for KBOs. Kuiper belt ...

Introduction The crater size-frequency distribution (CSFD) represents the distribution of projectiles that have bombarded a planetary surface (Baldwin, 1964; Hartmann, 1965, Hartmann, 1966; Neukum, 1984; Öpik, 1960; Shoe...
3 Juno is an asteroid that orbits the Sun. The vast majority of asteroids can be found orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids tend to be irregularly shaped but Ceres is a notable exception in that it is spherical like a planet and has been upgraded to Dwarf ...
