Vesta is the brightest asteroid in the universe. It is named for the ancient Roman goddess of the hearth and is the only asteroid ever visible with the naked eye. Found on March 29, 1807, by Heinrich Olbers, it was the fourth minor planet to be discovered. It is the second most massive and the third largest asteroid. It revolves around the Sun in 3.6 terrestrial years and has an average diameter of about 520 km (320 miles). Its surface composition is basaltic.

The biggest one you can see from Earth is Ceres. But if you are talking about out of the whole Universe, then nobody on Earth knows. It's doubtful that humanity will ever know for certain. The Universe is a big place! I should know, I've been there.

Visably the largest is: Vesta.
But how can you see anything out there without light to illuminate it?
