145 Adeona is a rather large Main belt asteroid. Its surface is very dark, and composition likely of primitive carbonaceous material.
The Adeona family of asteroids is named after it.
It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on June 3, 1875 in Clinton, New York and named after Adeona, a protector of children in Roman mythology.
Adeona has been seen occulting a star once (July 9, 2002).
