I answered bmd234's questions.
1. Asronomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the first known dwarf planet or asteroid, Ceres

2. A fixed star

3. The titus-bode law is a rule that gives the approximate distances from the sun. It allowed Bode to believe there was another planet between Mars and Jupiter.

4. An AU is also known as an astromomical unit. It has 92955807.3 miles in it.

5. An Au is the distance from the earth to the sun.
