Researchers from Spain have discovered a kind of second moon orbiting around Earth. Known as Apollo asteroid 2025 PN7, it was detected by the Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii on August 2nd, 2025.

Astronomers have found a space rock that has been quietly hanging around Earth for decades: a tiny asteroid named 2025 PN7. This so-called “quasi-moon” isn’t a true moon or a mini-moon, because it ...

Looking for Near-Earth objects (NEOs) has demonstrated a simple fact: there are a lot of rocks in space, and many of them ...

Earth has a newly discovered—albeit temporary—companion in its journey around the sun. In research published this month in Research Notes of the AAS, a non-peer reviewed publication from the American ...

You may have heard a lot of online chatter about Earth's two moons recently, but that doesn't quite get the discovery right. Earth still only has one true natural satellite — our 2,159-mile-wide moon ...

Quasi-moons, the Planetary Society states, are “like a gravitational sleight of hand.” They are asteroids, which — from our point of view on Earth — appear to be orbiting our planet like our permanent ...

The recently spotted asteroid 2025 PN7 appears to be the source of the rumor mill about Earth's supposed second moon. Earth has several quasi-moons that get their name due to the fact that they ...

No, Earth will not have "two moons until 2083," but asteroid 2025 PN7 has joined Earth's orbital path, with the tiny fleet of space rocks set to trail Earth's orbit until 2083 before the sun pulls it ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...

The Moon is rusting — and it’s Earth’s fault. Scientists have found that oxygen particles blown from Earth to the Moon can turn lunar minerals into haematite, also known as rust. The discovery adds to ...
