'''4 Vesta''' was discovered on 29 March 1807 by [[w:Heinrich Wilhelm Obers|Heinrich Wilhelm Obers]], 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]],

== 4 Vesta in Orbiter ==
4 Vesta 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 Vesta is not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
