The Juno clump is a probable asteroid family in the vicinity of 3 Juno. Minor planet is the official term for asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects. ... 3 Juno (jew-noh) was discovered on September 1, 1804 by German astronomer Karl L. Harding, using a humble 2-inch telescope. ...

3 Juno is a large asteroid with a mean diameter of about 235 km, but the remaining bodies are all small. (32326) 2000 QO₆₂, the brightest of those clearly in the visible clump would have a diameter of about 6 km, given the same albedo as 3 Juno. This indicates that it is probably a so-called cratering family composed of ejecta from impacts onto the parent body 3 Juno. 3 Juno (jew-noh) was discovered on September 1, 1804 by German astronomer Karl L. Harding, using a humble 2-inch telescope. ... 3 Juno (jew-noh) was discovered on September 1, 1804 by German astronomer Karl L. Harding, using a humble 2-inch telescope. ...

The HCM analysis by (Zappalà 1995) detemined several likely core members, whose proper elements lie in the approximate ranges

At the present epoch, the range of osculating orbital elements of these core members is The semi-major axis of an ellipse In geometry, the term semi-major axis (also semimajor axis) is used to describe the dimensions of ellipses and hyperbolas. ... Eccentric is from the Greek for out of the centre, as opposed to concentric, in the centre. ... Inclination in general is the angle between a reference plane and another plane or axis of direction. ... The astronomical unit (AU or au or a. ... In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time for which celestial coordinates or orbital elements are specified. ... In Astronomy, and in particular in Astrodynamics, the osculating orbit of an object in space is the gravitational Keplerian orbit about a central body which best approximates the (more complex) motion of the object at a given instant in time. ... The elements of an orbit are the parameters needed to specify that orbit uniquely, given a model of two ideal masses obeying the Newtonian laws of motion and the inverse-square law of gravitational attraction. ...
