1 Ceres was discovered on 1 January 1801 by 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 asteroids, and now is classified as a dwarf planet. Ceres is the largest body and the only Dwarf planet in the main asteroid belt.
