	1 Ceres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ceres was assigned a planetary symbol, and remained listed as a planet in astronomy books and tables (along with 2 Pallas, 3 Juno and 4 Vesta) for about half a century until further asteroids were discovered.
		Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt, which mostly lies between Mars and Jupiter.
		Ceres was long thought to be the parent body of the "Ceres asteroid family".

	Ceres (minor planet 1)
		Ceres contains about one third of the mass of all the asteroids in the main asteroid belt put together.
		There matters might have stood were it not for the fact that Ceres lay at the heliocentric distance predicted by the Titius-Bode law and therefore seemed as if it might be the missing planet that Johann Bode argued must exist between Mars and Jupiter.
		Piazzi named it Ceres after the Roman goddess of grain and patron goddess of Sicily, thereby starting a tradition that continues to the this day: asteroids are named by their discoverers (in contrast to comets, which are named for their discoverers).

	Asteroid Ceres chart and Orbit Viewer
		Ceres is the largest known asteroid in the traditional asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
		Ceres is rare among asteroids in that its size and mass are sufficient to give it a nearly spherical shape, much like a planet.
		Ceres is the main body of the Cererian family of asteroids.

	Ceres, the Goddess of Grain
		The goddess Ceres' primary function was as the goddess of agricultural fertility in general and grain in particular.
		Ceres presided over the frumentationes, the distribution of grain to the urban poor, and the annona, the administration of the Roman grain supply (Spaeth 10).
		Ceres is depicted with symbols of the Mysteries, such as riding in a chariot drawn by snakes while holding a torch in her right hand, in coins issued in the 2nd century BCE (Spaeth 18).

		Summary (Sep 14, 2005): Observations of 1 Ceres, the largest known asteroid, have revealed that the object may be a "mini planet," and may contain large amounts of pure water ice beneath its surface.
		Observations of 1 Ceres, the largest known asteroid, have revealed that the object may be a "mini planet," and may contain large amounts of pure water ice beneath its surface.
		Ceres' shape is almost round like Earth's, suggesting that the asteroid may have a "differentiated interior," with a rocky inner core and a thin, dusty outer crust.

	Asteroid 1 Ceres - Explore the Cosmos \| The Planetary Society
		Ceres, the first asteroid to be discovered, is by far the largest and most massive asteroid in the main asteroid belt.
		Ceres' surface probably also has interesting tectonic features: compressional (folding) features that could have formed as the whole body shrank when its water melted and differentiated, and then extensional (faulting) features that could have formed as the water began to re-freeze and expand.
		The density and shape of Ceres suggest that it is internally layered, with a denser silicate core and an icy mantle.

	1 Ceres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ceres was also called Hera for a short time in Germany.
		That is, it is close to hydrostatic equilibrium.
		This means that Ceres' axial tilt is very small (about 4±5°).

	Ceres
		Named after the Roman Goddess of Fruitfulness, Ceres village was founded in 1849 when, after the completion of Michell's Pass, the first plots of land were sold.
		The village lies 150 km to the North-East of Cape Town and after the discovery of diamonds in the interior in 1869, the road through Ceres became the main route to the North.
		It is situated 9 km north of Ceres and 160 km from Cape Town.

		Ceres may have a rocky inner core, an icy mantle, and a thin, dusty outer crust inferred from its density and rotation rate.

	CERES ES9 Aqua Edition2 Data Quality Summary
		User applied revisions are a method CERES uses to identify improvements to existing archived data products that are simple for users to implement, and allow correction of data products that would not be possible in the archived versions until the next major reprocessing 1 to 2 years in the future.
		The resolution of CERES Aqua is 20 km at nadir and the resolution of ERBE ERBS is 40 km at nadir so that the surface area observed by ERBS is 4 times larger than the area observed by Aqua.
		The resolution of CERES Terra and Aqua is 20 km at nadir and the resolution of ERBS is 40 km at nadir so that the surface area observed by ERBS is 4 times larger than the area observed by Terra and Aqua.

	Ephemerides of the Largest Asteroids
		Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta deserve such attention because they are the three most massive asteroids, the source of significant perturbations of the planets, and are among the brightest main belt asteroids making them prime targets for photometric and spectroscopic studies aimed at understanding the composition of the asteroids.
		Preliminary masses for Ceres using Pallas, Juno, and Vesta as the perturbed asteroid and using the preliminary estimate for the mass of Pallas made while generating the ephemerides are in green, and the final mass for the mass of Ceres is in red.
		Or, since Ceres is a G-type asteroid (considered a sub-type of the C-type asteroids) while Mathilde is a C-type asteroid (Tholen 1989), compositional differences may account for the difference in density.

		Ceres was in conjunction with the Sun at the end of 2005.

	Why Ceres and Vesta? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Possibly the excavating events or dynamics that provided the HED meteorites did not occur at Ceres, but also possibly, the reflectance spectrum of the surface of Ceres is not indicative of its crustal rocks.
		Microwave studies suggest that Ceres is covered with a dry clay, in contrast to Vesta's basaltic dust layer that reflects its crustal composition.
		For Vesta and Ceres we need to know their interior structure, their thermal history as manifested in the geological and geophysical record, and the processes that are acting on and affecting their surfaces.
