Proper noun

Ceres

  1. (Roman mythology) The Roman goddess of agriculture; equivalent to the Greek goddess Demeter.
  2. (astronomy) A celestial body orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, the innermost dwarf planet; officially called (1) Ceres. (see usage notes)
  3. A city in Stanislaus County, California, United States.
  4. A village south-east of Cupar, eastern Fife council area, Scotland (OS grid ref NO4011).

Usage notes

edit

Ceres is a dwarf planet, but there is some confusion about whether it is also an asteroid. A NASA webpage states that Vesta, the belt's second-largest object, is the largest asteroid.[1] The IAU has been equivocal on the subject,[2][3] though its Minor Planet Center, the organisation charged with cataloguing such objects, notes that dwarf planets may have dual designations,[4] and the joint IAU/USGS/NASA Gazetteer categorizes Ceres as both asteroid and a dwarf planet.[5]
