6 Hebe

Tags: Planet.

6 Hebe (/ˈhiːbiː/ HEE-bee) is a large main-belt asteroid containing around half a percent of the mass of the belt. Its apparently high bulk density (greater than that of the Earth’s Moon or even Mars) however means that by volume it does not rank among the top twenty asteroids.
