Vesta Naked Eye Asteroid:
From: Mon Mar 01, 2021 8:00 pm
To: Thu Mar 11, 2021 4:00 am
Asteroid Vesta will be visible to the naked eye in early March. Its peak brightness is on March 5 at mag. 5.84. At culmination the atmosphere only diminishes that down to about 6.0. It should be almost as bright for several nights before and after the 5th, though beforehand the Moon will interfere since you'll probably need to view it fairly late when it is higher in the sky. You'll also need a semi-dark site, of course.
