Asteroid Iris 7 will be opposite the sun, an arrangement called opposition, on the evening of tonight, April 30, offering skywatchers an excellent opportunity to spot this fascinating space rock.
At the same time as it reaches opposition, Iris 7 will also make its closest approach to Earth or Perigee, meaning the asteroid is also bright in the night sky .
