Ceres

2. (Roman mythology) The Roman goddess of agriculture; equivalent to the Greek goddess Demeter.
4. (astronomy) A celestial body orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, the innermost dwarf planet; officially called (1) Ceres. (see usage notes)
5. A city in Stanislaus County, California, United States.
6. A village south-east of Cupar, eastern Fife council area, Scotland (OS grid ref NO4011).

Ceres is a dwarf planet, but there is some confusion about whether it is also an asteroid. A NASA webpage states that Vesta, the belt's second-largest object, is the largest asteroid.^[1] The IAU has been equivocal on the subject,^[2][3] though its Minor Planet Center, the organisation charged with cataloguing such objects, notes that dwarf planets may have dual designations,^[4] and the joint IAU/USGS/NASA Gazetteer categorizes Ceres as both asteroid and a dwarf planet.^[5]
