Vesta is one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt and is considered a protoplanet, meaning it is a planetary building block that never fully formed into a planet. It is the second-most massive body in the asteroid belt, after the dwarf planet Ceres. Vesta is distinguished by its large size and relatively spherical shape, as well as its unique surface features, including a large impact basin known as Rheasilvia. It is composed mostly of rock and metal, and has a differentiated interior with a metallic core. Vesta has been studied extensively by the Dawn spacecraft, which provided valuable insights into its composition, structure, and geological history. Its close proximity to Earth makes it a popular target for scientific observation and research.
