#Earth Has a New ‘#QuasiMoon,’ and It May Be Very Tiny
The object shares Earth’s orbit around the sun and could be with us for almost another 60 years.
Latest object is an #asteroid that #astronomers are calling #2025PN7. It has an orbit that’s similar to Earth’s around the sun, meaning it’s like a car traveling in same lane as our planet. It’s what’s known as a quasi-moon. And of handful of known quasi-moons, this one could be smallest, about 52ft

Get ready for a torrent of AI slop about a "Second Moon", a new 'Quasi-moon' has been found, a big boulder in Space which is currently sharing an orbit with us for a bit.

🌍✨ Earth has a quasi-moon!
Astronomers found asteroid PN7, a companion orbiting with us every 63 years — almost like the Moon’s younger sibling. 🚀

In my latest post, I explore how PN7’s discovery inspires my upcoming sci-fi web serial Hindsight Station. Even the smallest objects in space can teach humanity big lessons.

Thanks to a poorly chosen font and some good natured fun, the The International Astronomical Union has officially named Venus' quasi-moon 2002VE as 'Zoozve'.

Thanks to Kovi at @funfactscience for sharing!

What is Venus' quasi-moon Zoozve?

Venus and Mercury are the only planets in the Solar System without moons, but that’s not the whole story.

Saw a really cool story on Lemmy about something called a Quasimoon, which orbits both Venus and the Sun. So neat. The story is really fun too!

Meet newly-discovered asteroid 2023 FW13. @AdrienCoffinet noticed it is a quasi-satellite of Earth.
Astronomer, Sam Deen, located precovery images which help confirm the 1:1 resonance with Earth. This is the …
