Toutatis, asteroid number 4179, is a slender rocky asteroid and slow-moving body classified as a potentially hazardous near Earth asteroid in the Apollo and Alinda groups, with a diameter of approximately 2.5 kilometers. In 1989, French astronomer Christian Pollas discovered this asteroid in Koussors, named after Toutatis in Celtic mythology. Tutotis approached Earth again in 2016, but there is no risk of impact before 2069.
