For the first time, astronomers successfully mapped the largest asteroids in the universe, the Solar system of which the size of the Earth and there is what makes the Sun so dainty. This is a list of 42 of the largest asteroids in the Solar system.
Astronomers use telescopes land, the European Southern Obsevatory the Very Large Telescope (ECO VLT) in Chile, South America.
The asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter then observed, then found a list of 42 of the largest asteroids with the image of a more sharply than before.
As a result, Ceres is an asteroid which is the most so far found in the Solar system. Ceres has a diameter of 950 km and was first discovered in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi.
When it is, the space object is classified as a planet, is now as asteroids. Spacecraft Dawn NASA managed to photograph high resolution in 2015.
While the smallest of a list of 42 of the largest asteroids that Urania, whose name is taken from Greek mythology, one of the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosine. Urania known length of 111 km and a width of 89 km.
“In short, the variation of the extraordinary in their composition can only be understood if the objects were derived from the region that are in the Solar system,” said Josef Hanu of the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, one of the authors of the study quoted from Tech Explorist, Sunday (17/10/2021).

Previously, only a few asteroids that can be seen detail. It factors spacecraft that have been ‘visit’ to the object space.
“Only three asteroids in the main belt large, Ceres, Vesta and Lutetia has been imaged with a high level of detail so far, because they have been visited by space mission, Dawn and Rosetta from NASA,” said Pierre Vernazza from the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille in France, who led the study asteroids that published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Detailed images 42 the largest asteroid in the Solar system is a big leap in the field of astronomy, especially the observation of the asteroid.
These findings are expected to answer the questions mysterious until recently, the question about the beginning of life, the universe, and other.
