Earth temporarily has a "new moon" this is a small asteroid temporarily captured by our planet's gravity. The new space object was designated 2026 QQ8. Its diameter is only about one meter. The asteroid began orbiting the Earth in April this year and will remain a temporary satellite of the planet until December. After that, according to scientists' calculations, it will overcome the Earth's gravity and continue to move around the Sun. Initially, by the way, the researchers assumed that these could be the remains of a rocket or a satellite. The planet is full of space debris left by humans around the planet. However, further observations confirmed its natural origin. The next encounter with this space stone is expected in 2058. We will live!
