asteroid celestial body Also called planetoids or minor planets, the asteroids are tiny planets most of which orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. The largest - and the first discovered - is Ceres, with a diameter of 1,003 km. It is estimated that there may altogether be no fewer than 40000. A few have very elliptical orbits and cross the orbits of several other (major) planets. One or two even have their own satellites (moons).

Icarus 1948 2^h16^m 0.19 AU asteroid 1.1 km e = 0.827 i = 23° a = 1.07 AU Asteroid with the smallest orbit and highest eccentricity of any asteroid. It is the only asteroid known to come closer to the Sun than Mercury. 1566 P = 408^d Baade
