Delta Launch Report | Dawn's two cosmic targets - Ve... http://www.spaceflightnow.com/delta/d325/070702targets.html The Mission Dawn's two cosmic targets: Vesta and Ceres FROM NASA PRESS KIT Ceres and Vesta are the two most massive residents of the asteroid belt. ... Asteroids Large, rocky bodies that orbit the sun are known as asteroids or minor planets. ... Discovered in 1801, Ceres was at first considered a planet, later classified as an asteroid, and more recently as a dwarf planet. ...

In ancient times the solar system was thought to be the whole Universe, so the study of planetary motions was cosmology. ... The planets other than the Moon and Sun generally move West to East through the stars, but occasionally stop and move in the opposite direction ( retrograde motion). In order to explain the retrograde motion of the planets, the geocentric model of the Solar System shown above puts the planets on small circles called epicycles . ...

Why the Moon's rotation period is the same as the length of time it takes to orbit the Earth (same as number 1, but phrased differently). ... But when this happens, the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once will be slowed to exactly the same time it takes for the Moon to go around the Earth once! ...
