Wonder how the Sumerians knew this before we did.

It's a shame that they call Ceres a dwarf planet. Why don't they adjust the minimum size so that Ceres can be an asteroid like all the others between Mars and Jupiter?

Have a look at Ceres:

She is small but doesn't look like an asteroid. You'll also see the NASA/JPL def for a "standard" planet and a dwarf planet.

Whoa, Ceres is much bigger than I thought. I figured it was a large asteroid but I was wrong.
