Earth Will Get A Second Moon This Month
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.
Temporary ‘Mini-Moon’ Will Begin Orbit Around Earth Next Week: What To Know
Earth will temporarily get a second moon next week when a tiny asteroid begins its two month orbit around the planet, though researchers say the space rock likely won’t be visible without the help of a professional telescope.
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.
Study reveals Earth once had rings similar to Saturn's
Earth May Have Once Had a Saturn-Like Ring, New Study Says
The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago, and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating. Researchers say that the existence of such a ring would help solve several puzzles from Earth's past and that much of the data they collected supports its existence.
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.”
Earth used to have Saturn-like rings, new study suggests
Earth and Saturn might be a lot more similar than previously thought. In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 466 million years ago, a ring system made up of asteroid remnants may have surrounded our planet,
