Cerulli compiled a star catalog with
Elia Millosevich
. He also observed
Mars
and developed the theory that the
Martian canals
were not real but an
optical illusion
, a theory that was later confirmed. He discovered one
asteroid
,
704 Interamnia
, which is named after the
Latin
name for Teramo, and is notable for its relatively large diameter of approximately 350 km, which makes it one of the largest bodies in the traditional
asteroid belt
. A
crater
on
Mars
is named after Cerulli, as is the asteroid
366 Vincentina
. Cerulli, Vincenzo Cerulli, Vincenzo Cerulli, Vincenzo
