This is an official model of the Earth Crossing Asteroid (ECA) 4179 Toutatis, made from the data
gathered by scientists of the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California. This asteroid is of
particular importance because it has one of the closest approaches to our planet Earth.
This set comes with display stand, authentic METEORITE sample, information sheet, and four
specimens of minerals which relate to the composition of asteroids.
Toutatis is painted in natural colors from spectrographic data, and the ubiquitous cratering is
clearly seen.
The meteorite sample directly helps relate to the asteroid, as most meteorites are thought to have
originated in the asteroid belt, between the planets Mars and Jupiter.
