Ok, to lighten things up…dont you think this asteroid looks like poop? This is actually pretty fascinating This poop is about 2.9 miles long and 1.5 miles wide (4.6 by 2.4 kilometers). On Wednesday, it will zoom by our planet within a million miles, or about four times the distance to the Moon. That’s close by cosmic standards for an object that could cause global devastation. Toutatis hasn’t been so near since the year 1353 and won’t be that close again until 2562, NASA scientists have calculated. No other asteroid so large is known to have come so close in the past, though accurate tracking of space rocks is a fairly recent, high-tech skill that still leaves wide margins of error for many objects. Wow, I wonder if anyone back in 1353 looked up at the sky and said “Hey look, flyin crap!”.
