View Full Version : Earth Has TWO MOONS! Regulus 06-18-2016, 12:27 AM Scientists have discovered a small asteroid that orbits both the earth and the sun, taking a year to orbit both the earth and the sun. :banana: Five will get you ten NASA is already drawing up plans to send a probe to check out our newly discovered companion. :ufo: opus 06-18-2016, 12:54 AM Oh good.

Babalu 06-19-2016, 10:20 PM Moons or satellites orbit a planet, so this would not really be considered a moon. It seems to be in an odd orbit of the sun that mirrors the Earth from about 9 to 24 million miles away and is only about as big as a football field. Probably not far enough for Matt Damon if it were my choice. Fleet 06-20-2016, 03:23 AM Moons or satellites orbit a planet, so this would not really be considered a moon.

Probably not far enough for Matt Damon if it were my choice. Good point. If it also orbits the sun, it is not a natural satellite of the Earth. Regulus 06-20-2016, 10:58 AM It's in what is called ann "orbital resonance", and our other moon has such a resonance as well. ABlairican Pie 06-20-2016, 06:22 PM Oh good. Another place to leave Matt Damon. :lol: I'd think that if it were an actual satellite of earth, we would have seen it ages ago. Plus would it not affect our tides? shotzette 06-20-2016, 08:06 PM http://img.ifcdn.com/images/61b06612bbe3785991010aaa522ed58ebcf923471b748616c4cf04392873d6f7_1.jpg All I can think of is Team America's Matt Damon!
