About the vesta symbol

Vesta, the second-largest asteroid in the solar system, has its own astronomical symbol. This character is a stylized representation of the asteroid, used in professional and amateur astronomy contexts to denote the object in charts, tables, and orbital diagrams. The symbol combines a simplified altar or hearth shape, referencing Vesta’s mythological role as goddess of the hearth and home, with a cross or star-like element common in planetary symbols.
