Which is the largest asteroid at present? (I know the answer. I just want to see how many of you do know it. Wait for a day till you get surprised. I am sorry but even wikipedia has not yet got the big news)
The largest asteroid by far is 1 Ceres. It is 974 km in diameter and contains about 25% of the mass of all the asteroids combined. The next largest are 2 Pallas, 4 Vesta and 10 Hygiea which are between 400 and 525 km in diameter. All other known asteroids are less than 340 km across
