At this time, Toutatis was about 13 million km from the Earth, i.e. 33 times more distant than the Moon. On December 8, this Minor Planet passed within 3.6 million km from the Earth, but at that time it was not possible to observe it with ground-based optical telescopes, because it was situated between the Earth and the Sun. However, very good radar images were obtained which showed thecratered surface of the object.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> </div> <div class="row statusbar"><div class="col-md-3"> Showing 1 to 13 of 13 </div><div class="col-md-6"><div class="text-center"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><a href="/web/20220215010216/https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/1993/list/1/">1</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="col-md-3 prev-next"></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-12"></div></div> <div class="copyright"> <a href="/web/20220215010216/https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/copyright/">Usage of ESO Images, Videos, Web texts and Music</a><br/> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="row footernote"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/mailto:information@eso.org">Send us your comments!</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/web/20220215010216/https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/newsletters/esonews/">Subscribe to receive news from ESO in your language</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/https://www.cdn77.com/">Accelerated by CDN77</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/web/20220215010216/https://www.eso.org/public/about-eso/privacy/">Terms & Conditions</a> </div> </div> <link href="/web/20220215010216cs_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/djp/css/extras.166b25c68b97.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <script type="text/javascript">var MEDIA_URL = "/public/archives/"</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/web/20220215010216js_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/djp/js/main.31c9a9017e79.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div>  <div id="social-share" class="hidden-print"> <div class="link facebook" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Facebook"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/1993/" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link twitter" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Twitter"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/1993/&text=&via=ESO" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link pinterest" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Pinterest"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/1993/&media=&description=" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-pinterest" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link print" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Print"> <a href="javascript:window.print()" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link email" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share by email"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220215010216/mailto:%20?subject=ESO — Press Releases 1993&body=https://www.eso.org/public/news/archive/year/1993/" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> <script> $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); </script> <input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="75dycMeHCo8llAZQau9zY0oym4U7ZwVNp0lYZhoe6uHy8ggV3nKcAcm7VZpo1R3y"/> </body> </html>
