== Oppositions ==
Juno reaches [[Opposition (astronomy)|opposition]] from the Sun every 15.5 months or so, with its minimum distance varying greatly depending on whether it is near perihelion or aphelion. Sequences of favorable oppositions occur every 10th opposition, i.e. just over every 13 years. The last favorable oppositions were on 1 December 2005, at a distance of 1.063 AU, magnitude 7.55, and on 17 November 2018, at a minimum distance of 1.036 AU, magnitude 7.45.<ref>The Astronomical Almanac for the year 2018, G14</ref><ref>[https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20181116_14_100 Asteroid 3 Juno at opposition] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201031802/https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20181116_14_100 |date=1 December 2017 }} 16 Nov 2018 at 11:31 UTC</ref> The next favorable opposition will be 30 October 2031, at a distance of 1.044 AU, magnitude 7.42.
