Way out past Mars, yet before you get to Jupiter, is a planet.
You read that privilege. There's a planet in the middle of Mars and Jupiter.
You might not have known about it, yet it was found in 1801 - 129 prior years Pluto. It initially was known as a planet, then later a space rock and now its known as a smaller person planet.
Its name is Ceres (claimed like arrangement) and you'll likely be listening to a ton all the more about it in the advancing weeks.

Ceres is one of five named midget planets perceived by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The other four are Eris, Pluto, Makemake and Haumea.
At the same time Ceres is the first of these planets to get a guest from Earth: NASA's Dawn shuttle is landing on March 6.
"Ceres is a "planet" that you've likely never known about," said Robert Mase, Dawn venture supervisor at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Ceres may be viewed as a midget planet, yet its "the titan of the fundamental space rock cinch," Dr. Marc Rayman, boss architect and mission executive of the Dawn mission, told CNN. "It is not just the biggest protest in the middle of Mars and Jupiter, it is the biggest question between the sun and Pluto that a space apparatus has not yet gone to."
