A group of astronomers called the Celestial Police studied this entity intensely in the 1800s. The NASA spacecraft DAWN that was launched in 2007 was sent to study this entity, and orbital resonance with a nearby body is the cause of the Kirkwood gaps in it. Motivated by the now-discredited Titius-Bode Law, Giuseppe Piazzi found what is now the only dwarf planet that is not a trans-Neptunian object in this region. The three largest objects located here are named Pallas, Vesta, and Ceres. For 10 points, identify this region of the solar system, roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
