NASA confirms Earth now has two moons until 2083
Discovered this year but traveling with us since the 1960s, the small asteroid will drift away in 2083


Earth just got a new tag-along in space a little asteroid named 2025 PN7.

NASA confirmed this week that the rock, discovered by the University of Hawaii, is officially a quasi-moon a rare type of celestial companion that travels almost exactly in sync with Earth. So its not a true moon, but it keeps pace with us, looping around the Sun in a path so similar that it appears to shadow our planet as we orbit.

Scientists estimate its only 18 to 36 meters wide, about the height of a small building. Tiny by cosmic standards, but significant enough to earn its own place in Earths extended neighborhood.

So that's definitely a space ship that's going to blow us up when we least expect it.

Now?

You know how Pluto isn't a planet? A more accurate 2006 headline would have been something more like "Some Astronomers redefined planet to exclude Pluto, and the rest of them think they're idiots."

2025 PN7 joins a small group of known quasi-satellites of Earth, including 164207 Cardea, 469219 Kamooalewa, (277810) 2006 FV35, 2013 LX28, 2014 OL339, and 2023 FW13. Quasi-satellites like 2025 PN7 are temporarily co-orbital with Earth but are not true moons. Some Arjuna-class asteroids with particularly Earth-like orbits can occasionally become temporary mini-moons, gravitationally captured by Earth for months to years.

NASA didn't make the decision. That's also not what Pluto looks like. This post is a big phoney.

There was a cool looking moon last night. Just a sliver lit up on the bottom but you could see the rest of the moon darkly.
