The dwarf planet Ceres was discovered on January 1, 1801 by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter and was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
Giuseppe Piazzi, the Sicilian monk-astronomer who discovered Ceres in 1801, first suggested the name Ceres Ferdinandea - Ceres after the Roman goddess of plants, and Fredinandea after the then-presiding King Ferdinand III of Sicily. As other nations did not agree with the political part of the name, it was dropped and Ceres remained.
