    A Good Time to Observe Dwarf Planet Ceres

    March 20, 2023 /

    On March 21, we have a great opportunity to observe the dwarf planet Ceres. It will be at opposition, which means it will reach the highest point in the sky at around midnight and opposite to the Sun. At the same time Ceres will be closest to the Earth (perigee) at a distance of 1.59 AU. At this time it will be the brightest, with an absolute magnitude of 6.9. Look in the constellation of Coma Berenices with binoculars or a telescope.
