'''1 Ceres''' was discovered on 1 January 1801 by [[w:Giuseppe Piazzi|Giuseppe Piazzi]], and was at first classified as a planet, at least until it was realized that there are many small bodies in the area between [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], at which time they were reclassified as [[Asteroid belt|asteroids]], and now is classified as a dwarf planet. Ceres is the largest body and the only [[Dwarf planet]] in the main asteroid belt.

== 1 Ceres in Orbiter ==
1 Ceres was first introduced with the release of MainBeltAsteroids051403.zip in May 2003. Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of Ceres is not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
