There are two groups of near-Earth asteroids that deeply cross the Earth's orbit on an almost continuous basis.
The first of these to be discovered were the Apollo asteroids, 1862 Apollo being detected by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in 1932 but lost shortly thereafter and not rediscovered until 1978.
Apollo asteroids have semimajor axes (a) that are greater than or equal to 1 AU and perihelion distances that are less than or equal to 1.0 AU; thus, they cross the Earth's orbit when near the perihelia of their orbits.

Piazzi named this object Ceres after the ancient Roman grain goddess and patron goddess of Sicily, thereby initiating a tradition that continues to the present day: asteroids are named by their discoverers (in contrast to comets, which are named for their discoverers).
