Top 10 Largest Asteroids
Description
Estimating the sizes of asteroids from observations is difficult due to their irregular shapes, varying albedo, and small angular diameter. For example, pure C-type asteroids are much darker than most. Asteroids with only one or two axes measured may have a falsely inflated geometric mean diameter if the unknown second or third axis is significantly smaller than the primary axis. Asteroid 16 Psyche has an IRAS diameter of 253 km, yet has a more recent and accurate geometric mean of only 186 km. In this video we bring you the top 10 largest asteroids in term of mean diameter:
10. 31 Euphrosyne
9. 15 Eunomia
8. 87 Sylvia
7. 511 Davida
6. 52 Europa
5. 704 Interamnia
4. 10 Hygiea
3. 2 Pallas
2. 4 Vesta
1. 1 Ceres
