Glossary term: क्षुद्रग्रह घेरा (ऐस्टरौएड बेल्ट)

Description: क्षुद्रग्रह बेल्ट मंगल और बृहस्पति ग्रहों के बीच का क्षेत्र है; इस क्षेत्र में बौना ग्रह सेरेस और बड़ी संख्या में छोटे क्षुद्रग्रह हैं जिनमें मुख्य रूप से चट्टानें और कुछ खनिज शामिल हैं। क्षुद्रग्रह बेल्ट को मुख्य क्षुद्रग्रह बेल्ट के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है ताकि इसे सौर मंडल में पाई जाने वाली अन्य छोटी वस्तुओं, अर्थात् पृथ्वी के निकट की वस्तुओं और ट्रोजन क्लस्टर से अलग किया जा सके।

Caption: True-colour image of the asteroid Ceres acquired by the spaceprobe Dawn in May 2015, at a distance of 13641 km. The prominent, bright crater at right is Haulani. The smaller bright spot to its left is exposed on the floor of Oxo. Ejecta from these impacts appears to have exposed bright material, probably water ice.

Ida and Dactyl

Caption: This picture of the asteroid Ida with its satellite Dactyl was taken by the Galileo space probe in August 1993 from a range of 10,870 kilometers (6,755 miles). Ida is a heavily cratered, irregularly shaped asteroid in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This image is proof that asteroids like the 56 km large Ida can possess their own moons.
