Check out all of TED-Ed's book recommendations: Check out Carrie Nugent's Asteroid Hunters: Over the course of history, weve discovered hundreds of thousands of asteroids. But how do astronomers discover these bits of rock and metal? How many have they found? And how do they tell asteroids apart? Carrie Nugent shares the story of the very first asteroid ever discovered and explains how asteroid hunters search for these celestial bodies. Lesson by Carrie Nugent, directed by TED-Ed.

Ceres = planet
1) It's kinda round orbits the sun, and has enough mass for delineation of materials through gravitational separation.
2) If we were outside of the solar system and observed it transitioning the sun, we would call it a planet.
3) Defining a solar body by subjective factors external to the object implies that the entity creating the categories and definition has an absolute understanding of every potential variable. That is a very unscientific methodology in my opinion. Shall we use the same disposition to redefine stars to require a certain number of planets? Ceres was the first mistake. After the discovery of Pluto, the mistake should have been corrected. It will be corrected in the future. I'm sure of it. The IAU's planetary definition will be considered the biggest scientific blunder of the early 21st century. It's a shame to limit the public's appreciation for the golden age of astronomy that we are currently living in because of this conservative backwards nonsense. Most of our remarkable discoveries from the last century and especially the last few decades go largely unnoticed and remain marginalized due to the Big Blunder.

i now knew where asteroids first came from. when Cal friedrich gauss stimulated his nose 2: 21- 2: 27 then 2: 28he then plucks it. then BOOM! the first asteroid orbits through his head first before it goes to space expanding! Another BIG BANG!

Hi. May I ask you. the earth is spinning so there will be at some point in the north and the south a point where you can stand and you will spin around yourself within 24 hours. what is that point

Thank you so much for making videos like these! I have a science test on the Solar System next week, and I'm learning a lot more than others!

Freaking Gauss didn't have the mathematical tools he needed so he INVENTED one. If that's not a galaxy brain move then nothing is
