4 Vesta ( Template:PronEng , Latin : Vesta ) is the second most massive object in the asteroid belt , with a mean diameter of about 530 km (around 330 miles ) and an estimated mass of 9% of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Vesta lost some 1% of its mass in an impact less than one billion years ago. Many fragments of this impact have impacted Earth as HED meteorites , a rich source of evidence about the asteroid. [8] Vesta is the brightest asteroid and its greatest distance from the Sun is only slightly more than the minimum distance of Ceres from the Sun. [9] |

Its size and unusually bright surface make Vesta the brightest asteroid, and the only one ever visible to the naked eye from Earth besides Ceres , which is visible under exceptional viewing conditions. Due to the availability of rock samples in the form of the HED meteorites , it has also been the most studied. |

Vesta is the third-largest known asteroid , 525 kilometers in diameter, discovered in 1807 . Among the large asteroids, only Vesta has a surface of basaltic rock from ancient lava flows that may overlay an olivine mantle. This indicates that in the distant past Vesta likely differentiated into layers and underwent many of the same geological processes that the early Earth and Mars underwent. Dozens of Vesta-like asteroids are presumed to have existed at one time, but since then have been broken apart into families of smaller asteroids; nickel - iron asteroids are thought to come from the cores of such bodies, with stony ones coming from their crusts and mantles. |
