On 30th November , from 07:12 UT to 7:24 UT , the magnitude 9.1 asteroid (15) Eunomia occults the magnitude 10 star TYC 1930-01565-1 in the constellation Gemini.
The occultation should occur around 07:18 UT, and last 72 seconds, and be just visible as a half magnitude drop in brightness.
Visible in Alaska

Expand (9kb, 560 x 389)

Position(2000): RA 08h 00m 56.142s, Dec 24° 59 31.81

As the largest S-type asteroid (with 3 Juno being a very close second), Eunomia has attracted a moderate amount of scientific attention. It contains slightly over one percent of the mass of the entire main belt.
Eunomia appears to be an elongated (330 x 245 x 205km) but fairly regularly shaped body, with what appear to be four sides of differing curvature and noticeably different average compositions. Its elongation led to the suggestion that Eunomia may be a binary object.

Asteroid 15 Eunomia at magnitude 8.4, is at opposition on the 29th July, 2006. The asteroid is best viewed from the southern hemisphere.
Eunomia is moving in a retrograde direction towards the west.

15Eunomia290706

15 Eunomia is a large asteroid in the inner main asteroid belt. It is the largest of the stony (S-type) asteroids, and somewhere between the 8th to 12th largest Main Belt asteroid overall (uncertainty in diameters causes uncertainty in its ranking). It is also the largest member of the Eunomia family of asteroids.
Eunomia was discovered by A. de Gasparis on July 29, 1851 and named after Eunomia, one of the Horae (Hours), a personification of order and law in Greek mythology.
