#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

🌍✨ 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.

Venus "Quasi-moon" Just Got a Name. Henceforth, it Shall be Called Zoozve.

Ask any astronomer, and they will tell you that all of the planets in the Solar System (including those “dwarf planets”) have satellites, with the exception of Mercury and Venus. However, that is not entirely the case, as Venus has what is known as a “quasi-moon” – a large asteroid that orbits the planet but … Continue reading "Venus “Quasi-moon” Just Got a Name.
