Asteroid 15 Eunomia will appear in opposition to the Sun near the Capricornus-Aquarius border on 2019 AUG 12 at magnitude +8.2. That’s beyond naked eye visibility, but it should be seen with small telescopes and good binoculars.

Eunomia is the most massive stony asteroid and was discovered by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis in 1851. It has a mean diameter of 268 km. Eunomia is named after an ancient Greek goddess of law and legislation

Photos and descriptions of Eunomia would be welcome additions to this thread.
