Asteroids, or minor planets as they are sometimes called, are celestial bodies in the inner Solar system.
They are created from remnants of rocks dating back from the formation of our solar system in the early stages, some 4.6 billion years ago.
Currently there are over 1.1 million known asteroids.
Most of them orbit our Sun between the planets Mars and Jupiter in the main asteroid belt.
The biggest asteroids are huge in size. Vesta is 530 kilometers in diameters. The smallest ones are less than 10 meters in diameter.
They usually have irregular shape, and craters or dents on the surface. Some even have accompanying moons.
Most asteroids are composed of clay and silicate rocks and appear dark. These celestial bodies are the oldest objects in our solar system.
Other, stony types are composed of silicate materials and nickel-iron. Metallic types are composed from nickel-iron.
Their composition differs depending on the distance from the Sun during the times they formed.
Many strayed asteroids have hit the surface of the Earth and caused major changes in the geological history and evolution of life on Earth.
Juno is one of the asteroids and was discovered in 1804.
