Well, if Phobos and Deimos can be called "moons" then I think it's fair...
But I'm not convinced that Ceres is really that spherical, and Vesta certainly isn't.
Is there a coefficient of spherocity? Reciprocal of the normalised integral of the square radial displacement from the mean radius perhaps...
