Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...by studying all the observations of Piazzi, was able to calculate where the planet would be when it came into view again; and on the 31st of December--a year from its first discovery--it was found again. Piazzi called it Ceres. Now this small planet was found to travel just where astronomers had thought a planet should travel--between the paths of Mars and Jupiter. It was a very tiny body compared with even the least of the planets before known; but still it was a planet, and seemed to give a uniformity to the Sun's family which had before been wanting. But while astronomers were rejoicing, a fresh discovery was made, which seemed to set everything out of order again. On the 28th of March, 1802, the astronomer Olbers discovered a second planet, which travelled at about the same distance from the Sun as the first. This planet was also very small.

Astronomers began to believe that a large planet which had once travelled between the paths of Mars and Jupiter had burst, and that Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, were four of its fragments. But for many years no new planets of this family were discovered. At length, on the 8th of December 1845, the observer Hencke discovered a fifth member of this strange family, and a sixth on the 1st of July, 1847; in which year also, on the 13th of August, the English astronomer Hind discovered a seventh.
