Some Asteroids ( Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JAXA/ESA) The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. In this specific region, you will find the vast majority of asteroids. These asteroids are also known as minor planets or planetoids. Some of the main bodies in the asteroid belt are Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and Hygiea. Ceres is the only asteroid that is classified as a dwarf planet, as it is the largest object in the inner solar system. Ceres and these four asteroids comprise about half the mass of the entire asteroid belt. The entire belt is made up of billions of bodies, but only 7,000 have received an official designation. Asteroids vary in size. Some of them are as small as pebbles and some of them have a diameter of more than 400 km. __________________ El cinturón de asteroides se encuentra entre las órbitas de los planetas Marte y Júpiter.

Astronomers discover possible alien microbes on the dwarf planet Ceres.  Latest discoveries suggests that  Ceres´ surface contains organic compounds, which may be essential in the chemistry that creates life.  Furthermore, data collected shows that the organic material has been formed on the dwarf planet itself, and has not been deposited from another source.

Picture by/ Imagen de Christina Balit In ancient Roman religion, Ceres was a goddess of agriculture, grain crops, death, mystery, fertility, nourishment and motherly relationships. She was paired with her daughter Proserpina in what Romans described as "the Greek rites of Ceres", related to the comeback of the world of the death in wich Ceres was represented as the goddess of the fruitful earth and guardian of its underworld portals. She was also honoured at harvest-time, and during Roman marriages and funeral rites. Her Greek counterpart was Demeter. Words such as cereal come from the goddess. She was the daughter of Saturn and Ops and mother of the kidnapped Proserpina. _________________________ En la antigua religión romana, Ceres era la diosa de la agricultura, los cultivos de cereales, la muerte, el misterio, la fertilidad, la alimentación y las relaciones maternales.

In the following link, you will find an entertaining tour through the Solar System, with allits major bodies. It's interesting to see in scale the distance between planets. Note that Eris is called Xena (provisional name when it was discovered). Makemake and Haumea had not yet been classified as dwarf planets when this program first saw the light. Hope you like it. To take the tour, click the link below: ___________________ En el siguiente link, encontraréis un entretenido paseo por el Sistema Solar, con los planetas más importantes. Es interesante ver "a escala" la distancia entre planetas. Observad que Eris es llamado Xena (su nombre provisional cuando fue descubierto). Makemake y Haumea aún no habían sido catalogados como planetas enanos cuando se realizó este programa. Espero que os guste. Para dar el paseo, pincha aquí: Paseo por el Sistema Solar

Ceres is a the dwarf planet closest to the Sun. Until August 24, 2006, it was considered the largest asteroid discovered by man and until 1850 it was considered a normal planet. When discovered in January 01, 1801, it confirmed the Titius-Bode law published just three years before, confirming that in the fifth place of the law, to 2.8 AU  there ought to be a planet, and it was Ceres. Later it was dismissed by the number of asteroids that revolved in the same orbit and was wrongly identified as one of them,  until 2001 when the Hubble Space Telescope photographed Ceres and confirmed that not only was spherical, but also have different spectral properties to other asteroids around it. Its reality was discussed once again, it was claimed to be a small planet or planetary embryo,  surrounded by small asteroids differentiated him. There are indications of a warm iced surface and a weak atmosphere. Its diameter is 952.4 km and takes 1680.59236 days to circle the Sun. _______...
