Toutatis is a near-Earth asteroid (asteroid), from the group of Apollo asteroids, which are objects whose orbits can intersect the Earth's orbit. It counts but also to the Alinda asteroids, so it is in 3:1 orbital resonance with Jupiter, and in 1:4 resonance with the Earth, ie, it orbits Jupiter during one orbit Earth three times, and within four years, the Sun. Due to its eccentric orbit means that rapprochement between the Earth and Toutatisregularly occur about once every four years.
Toutatis was on 4 January 1989 by Christian pollas discovered. It is named after the Celtic god Toutatis.
An asteroid impact extinguished all life on earth. The classic, well known from many movies. But not so unrealistic. Finally, the dinosaurs have been wiped out by an asteroid impact. Why should it not happen again?There have always been asteroids that have come dangerously close to the earth. And in the future it will be.The next date is fixed. The asteroid Toutatis is one of our solar system and is approaching the Earth once everyfour years. 2012, it will be the next time. He will not miss this time? An impact in our atmosphere would be disastrous and would like an explosion of an atomic bomb.
