Vesta is one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Discovered in 1807 by the astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, Vesta is classified as a protoplanet due to its size and differentiated structure. It has a diameter of about 525 kilometers (326 miles) and is known for its bright surface, which reflects sunlight effectively. Vesta is unique because it has a complex geological history, including a large impact crater called Rheasilvia, which is about 22 kilometers (14 miles) deep. This crater is believed to be the result of a massive collision that shaped Vesta's surface. The Dawn spacecraft, launched by NASA, studied Vesta in 2011 and provided valuable
