Properties of the Asteroids
... Nearly all but the largest of asteroids in the asteroid belt appear star-like in even today’s large telescopes because they are physically small. They vary from the four largest: Ceres in 950 km in diameter; Vesta 525 km and Pallas 540 km and Juno 230 km; and decrease in size down to rocks barely te ...
