Asteroid 15 Eunomia Observation Details

Eunomia

Eunomia Daily Motion

Tonight, observing Eunomia may prove challenging owing to its low elevation. It will reach its transit at by 06:26 and set before sunset at 12:08. Rising near twilight's end at 00:40, it will fade away by 03:12, peaking at just 28° above the horizon.
15 Eunomia will be visible until June, 16, when it will move too close to the Sun. During this time, its proximity to the Sun will cause it to disappear from the night sky, making it unobservable for a while.
