Asteroid 1 Ceres (dwarf planet) will appear within Sagittarius in direct opposition to the Sun on 2024 JUL 05 at magnitude +7.3.

Ceres is the largest main belt asteroid with a mean diameter of 845 km. In 1801 it was the first asteroid ever discovered.

During the night of 2024 JUN 22-23, Ceres will be occulted (covered) by the waning gibbous Moon for observers in much of North America.

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