Earth Has TWO MOONS!
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.
 Five will get you ten NASA is already drawing up plans to send a probe to check out our newly discovered companion.

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.

It's in what is called ann "orbital resonance", and our other moon has such a resonance as well.

 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? |
