Astronomers have created highly detailed images of 42 of the solar system's largest asteroid belt objects, including Ceres which has a diameter twice as long as the Grand Canyon.

The team used the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the Atacama Desert, in Chile, to image the objects that exist in the solar system's main asteroid belt, located between Jupiter and Mars.
