The one named Kleopatra is shaped like a dog-bone. The first moon discovered to orbit one was Dactyl, and Eros was the first near-Earth type to be discovered. The hypothetical vulcanoid ones could be found inside the orbit of Mercury, and Achilles is a member of the Trojan group of them. NASA's Dawn Mission is set to visit the only one bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, Vesta. The distribution of their orbits is modified by the Kirkwood Gaps, which are located between Mars and Jupiter in their namesake belt, which is home to Ceres. For 10 points, name these irregularly-shaped fragments of rock that are larger than meteoroids but smaller than planets.
