（单词翻译）

 You can see the planet Jupiter on a clear night, but Jupiter is humongous. Mars and Mercury are smaller than that, and you can see them, too. Wait a minute, our moon is even smaller, and you can see that. Could anything smaller than the moon be visible without a telescope? Actually, yes. Though it takes a lot of patience and excellent sky conditions, it is possible to see a tiny object called Vesta. Although it had a molten interior and volcanoes, Vesta isn’t a planet or a moon: it’s an asteroid¹. Asteroids² are stray chunks³ of rocky or metallic⁴ materials that orbit the sun but were never drawn⁵ into any of the planets.
