Space History

January 1

On this day, back in 1801, Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the first asteroid. It was named Ceres, in honour of the Roman goddess of agriculture. Ceres has a diameter of about 950 km, which makes it the largest asteroid in the Asteroid Belt. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union adopted the term "dwarf planet" and since then Ceres has been classified as a dwarf planet.

Did You Know?

A light-year is a unit of distance, not time. It is simply the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second and therefore in one year (365¼ days) light can traverse 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres. In other words, a light-year is equal to about 9.46 trillion kilometres.
