 - Ceres
       is actually oblate
       because of the centrifugal force
       caused by its relatively fast rotation
       with rotation period 9.074170(2) hours.
      From accurate/precise measurements,
          Ceres
          has mean equatorial
                   diameter 
                   963.2 km and polar diameter 891.2 km. 
     
 - Vesta
          is approximately triaxial 
          with dimensions:  572.6 x 557.2 x 446.4 km.
          Thus, even bodies larger than 300 km in size scale do NOT have to be
          exactly spherical or oblate spherical.
          The centrifugal force
          and rigid body forces can partially withstand 
          gravity for 
          Vesta-size 
          astronomical objects.
     
 -  (52) Europa
          is NOT to be confused with Jupiter's
          Galilean moon
          Europa
          which is a much bigger body.
