COSMIC MESSAGE

The newly discovered minor planet 2001 KX76 is circled in this composite image from the European Southern Observatory's 2.2-meter telescope. Though it appears as a single point of light, its orbit has been accurately measured by Astrovirtel, a "virtual telescope" that mines archival data. This minor planet is estimated to be about 500 miles across, making it larger than Ceres, the largest asteroid.
