Vesta

Vesta is the second-largest member of the asteroid belt, but it may be the best understood. A spacecraft orbited the little world for more than a year. And pieces of it have been found here on Earth — more than 1200 of them.
On average, Vesta is about 330 miles in diameter — about half the size of Ceres, the giant of the asteroid belt. But it passes closer to Earth, and its surface is brighter, so it’s easier to see and study.
The Dawn spacecraft arrived at Vesta in 2011. It found that Vesta consists of layers of rock and metal, like a planet. It also found that liquid water once flowed across the surface, and that frozen water may lurk below the surface even today.
Dawn also discovered a giant crater at the south pole. It’s hundreds of miles across and about eight miles deep. It probably was gouged by a collision with another asteroid less than a billion years ago. Chunks of debris from the impact form a family of small asteroids.
Even smaller bits from the impact may have made it all
