Asteroid 2 Pallas is already out all night for northern hemisphere observers due to its current northern declination. It will appear within Sagitta in opposition to the Sun on 2020 JUL 15 at magnitude +9.6.

Pallas has a high orbital eccentricity and inclination with a mean diameter of 512 km.  It was discovered in 1802.

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