Asteroid, 4179 Toutatis, 2004

Composite, false-colour image showing asteroid (4179) Toutatis moving in front of background stars, as seen from Paranal (red trail) and La Silla (green trail). The two photos used for this combination were obtained nearly simultaneously in the morning of September 29, 2004, at 02:30 hrs UT, when the asteroid was passing through the constellation of Triangulum Australe (The Southern Triangle). The offset between the two trails corresponds to the difference of the lines-of-sight from the two telescopes towards the object. As the stars are common to both images, they appear yellowish.
