In summary, "Happy Birthday Haruspex" is a phrase used to commemorate the discovery of the dwarf planet Ceres, which was given the temporary name "Haruspex" in 1801. The discovery of Ceres was significant as it was the first object to be classified as a dwarf planet, redefining our understanding of the solar system. Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered Ceres while searching for a missing planet. Ceres was originally named "Haruspex" after an ancient Roman religious official, but is now known as the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility.
