Earth to gain temporary 'mini-moon'
Earth will get a second "mini-moon" for 2 months this year
The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months.
Asteroid to enter Earth's orbit temporarily: What to know about 'mini-moon'
Asteroid will come close enough to Earth to temporarily enter its orbit at the end of the month, a phenomenon dubbed as "mini-moon," according to astronomers.
What you need to know about Earth’s new, temporary mini-moon
Here’s what to know about our new, temporary celestial neighbor. Earth has a large gravitational pull. So it’s not uncommon for objects flying through space to be attracted to it or get caught up in an orbit — at which point they earn status as miniature moons. The same happens with objects purposefully placed in space, such as satellites.
Earth once had Saturn-like rings
Earth May Have Had Rings Like Saturn, Scientists Say
Evidence suggests Earth had a ring system 466 million years ago, causing a surge in meteorite impacts and possibly influencing the planet's climate.
In a Landmark Study, Scientists Discover Just How Much Earth’s Temperature Has Changed Over Nearly 500 Million Years
Researchers show the average surface temperature on our planet has shifted between 51.8 to 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit
Earth May Have Had a Ring Like Saturn Once
“Over millions of years, material from this ring gradually fell to Earth, creating the spike in meteorite impacts observed in the geological record,” said Tomkins in a statement that accompanied the paper’s release. “We … see that layers in sedimentary rocks from this period contain extraordinary amounts of meteorite debris.”
