PDF star chart for Ceres and Vesta at eyesonthesky.com.  These asteroids are small - several hundreds of kilometers across - but can be seen with simple binoculars, despite orbiting the Sun about twice the distance Earth does.  Cruising through the constellation of Taurus the Bull this week, they are an easy spot from most any location, especially with no moonlight to interfere with the view in the evening sky.  Learn how large these objects are, and how you can easily spot each near a bright star in the constellation.  See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.
