Asteroids and the asteroid belt, sentence 1
Most of them circle the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but it is not like the crowded rock fields of films: the belt is so empty that spacecraft fly through without dodging anything.
Who acts: Most, Sun, belt, spacecraft · What happens: circle, not be, be, fly, dodge · To what, where: Sun, asteroid belt, anything
