For centuries, the planet Earth has called the Moon its only natural companion. But new findings suggest Earth may not be a one-moon world after all. According to NASA, our planet is currently accompanied by a surprising group of eight so-called 'quasi-moons,' small asteroids that shadow Earth's orbit around the Sun and sometimes appear to orbit us.
The latest member of this cosmic entourage is 2025 PN7, a newly discovered asteroid that could expand Earth's 'moon family' to eight. If confirmed, this space rock joins a hidden club of celestial tagalongs that have followed Earth, some for decades, others for centuries, without being noticed.
