Video of Asteroid 2007 TU24

Amateur astronomer John Wunderlin captured this video and still image of Asteroid 2007 TU24 as it passed by on January 29th, 2008. The elongated shape is due to the high speed of the asteroid and the comparatively long exposure times needed to record an object as dim as magnitude 10.3.
