What package is need to make the Vesta symbol in LaTeX?

I am using wasysym (maybe misspelled here) package which generates \earth and the other planets.

From the starfont package manual:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{starfont}
\newcommand{\showboth}[1]{\starfontsans #1 & \starfontserif #1}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{llll|llll}
\verb|\Ceres| & \showboth{\Ceres} & Ceres &
\verb|\Vesta| & \showboth{\Vesta} & Vesta 
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
