Vesta, the planet is missing
In 1956, when describing the form of an elliptical planetary orbit,Johannes Kepler believed there is a planet between Mars and Jupiter.
mathematical calculation of Johann Daniel Titus and Johann Bode in elert1772 (Titus-Bode law) also support this prediction.
In August 1789, the group examined planetary Celestial policeThis missing. Among them there from the German astronomer, Heinrich Olbers,who found a second asteroit, Pallas. In a letter, he raisesThe first theories asteroit tentangasal-proposal. "Could Ceres and Pallascouples only a fraction of the larger planets and occupy betweenplanets Mars and Jupiter?, "in the letter.
Olbers argued that fragments of the planet will be in the opposite directionwhen there was an explosion and its orbit opposite. He studied two areas each nightand on 29 mart 1807 discovered Vesta. After several nights of observation,Olbers send the calculation to a mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gaussthe latter also calculates that the orbit of Pallas just 10 hours.He gave the name of the orbit of Olbers's findings with the name of Vesta, the goddess Ceres brotherin Greek mythology.
Vesta is the second largest object in the form asteroit. This thing is interesting because it has dark and bright parts on the surface like the moon. Observations from Earth indicate that Vesta has basald area which means there is lava flowing on the surface. irregular shape with a flat pole. Vesta can sometimes be seen with the naked eye from Earth.
When Vesta close to Earth in 1996, Hubble teleskup mapping the surface topography.This mapping shows a giant crater at the south pole of Vesta interior reveal.The diameter of the crater was about 460 km, whereas Vesta is only 530 km long. crater was cutup to 13 miles into and may be formed from the early days of the plant.material from these plants produce Vestoid, namely asteroids orbitingnear Vesta and some hit the earth. Unlike other asteroids, Vesta as the earth interior. Vesta has a skin which consists of cold lava rock that covers the mantle and the core of iron-nickel. This issue of the opinion that the minor planet Vesta is an asteroid instead. Vesta's core formed since 10 million years after solar system formation. basald skin Vesta also formed rapidly over a few million years.
