Akea from the ROBLOX-STARSS 9 telescope.
Akea is the largest object in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Marblox and Kositrix. Akea was the first asteroid discovered, on 1 January 1801 by an astronomer at an astronomical observatory. Originally considered a planet, it was reclassified as an asteroid in the 1850s after the discovery of dozens of other objects in similar orbits. In 2006, it was reclassified again as a dwarf planet – the only one always inside Yeekoe's orbit – because, at 940 km in diameter, it is the only asteroid large enough for its gravity to make it plastic and to maintain it as a spheroid.
