The recent discovery of a small object in Earth’s orbit has led astronomers and scientists to believe that it could be a “minimoon” – a piece of the moon. This is the first time such an event has been observed and analyzed. The minimoons have a rocky composition and are believed to originate from celestial bodies like the moon or asteroids. The small object was discovered by students at the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy, who were scanning the night sky using a telescope. They are hopeful that further research will reveal more about this fascinating phenomenon and help develop a better understanding of the origins and dynamics of celestial objects.
