The Kirkwood gaps are predictably empty sub-regions of this region of space, to which the Dawn spacecraft traveled to study Vesta in 2011. The largest body in this area was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006; that body, (*) Ceres, is roughly 3 astronomical units from the Sun and is the nearest dwarf planet to Earth. The inner and outer solar systems are separated by, for 10 points, what region of small rocky bodies found between Mars and Jupiter?
