Sky watchers will be able to see a giant silver asteroid shine in the sky when the asteroid 3 Juno moves opposite the sun.
The best time to view the asteroid is at midnight. The asteroid, which is named after a Roman goddess, will be visible in the sky for most of the night. The sun will be visible over New York at 9:06PM. It will be above the south-eastern horizon until 1:45 a.m. on September 8. It will sink towards the horizon in the southwest on September 8th. The length of a fist is around 100.
At 12:51 a.m. is the best time to catch the asteroid. On September 8th, it will be at its highest point in the sky and opposite the sun at 450 above the southern horizon.
You can see what you can see tonight.
The asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at about 120 million miles, meaning that it will be at its best for astronomy.
It will not be visible with the naked eye if you use a telescope or binoculars.
It was the third asteroid to be discovered when it was first looked at by a german astronomer.
One of the largest asteroids in the main asteroid belt has an estimated diameter of more than 200 km. Astronomers know of the tenth or eleventh largest asteroids.
One percent of the total mass of the main asteroid belt is held by the asteroid, which has a mass of around 2.7 x 1019 kilograms.
The irregular shape and high surface reflectivity of the asteroid give it a silvery glint. The asteroid's surface is scarred by craters from other smaller space rocks.
The asteroid is believed to be responsible for many of the meteorites that fall down on Earth. The fact that the silicates are hardy enough to survive through our planet's atmosphere is part of the reason for this.
The sun is in a highly elliptical (flattened) circle once every approximately four years. The asteroid is travelling at an average speed of 40,000 mph, which is 20 times the speed of a bullet fired by a rifle or 30 times the speed of a jet.
On Wednesday, both Earth and Juno will be on the same side of the sun, with the three bodies lined up in the middle.
