Just Coming Through: Asteroid Toutatis
UA astrophotographer Adam Block caught asteroid Toutatis with the Schulman Telescope at the UA Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter as it zipped by the Earth on Dec. 11. At three miles long, the peanut-shaped space rock is about half as big as the one believed to have slammed into the Caribbean 65 million years ago, sealing the fate of the dinosaurs.
