Asteroid 63 Ausonia Observation Details
Ausonia Daily Motion
Ausonia will reach its transit before twilight, at 14:50. By the onset of twilight at 16:22, it will be at elevation, and it will set before sunrise, at 20:13.63 Ausonia will be visible until January, 21, 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.
