    Notes:
    1. Reference: Wikipedia: List of notable asteroids: Largest asteroids by diameter.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. (52) Europa is NOT to be confused with Jupiter's Galilean moon Europa which is a much bigger body.
    5. Largest asteroids: Ceres ⚳, Davida, Eumonia, (52) Europa (see asteroid Europa symbol ̆ε), Hygiea ⚕, Interamnia, Juno ⚵, Pallas ⚴, Sylvia, Vesta ⚶.
    6. Keywords: asteroid, asteroid belt, astronomical unit (AU) = 1.49597870700*10**11 m, diameter, eccentricity, largest asteroids, mean orbital radius.
