Earth has got a new moon !!!

 Earth got a new *mini-moon*.  !!!


But don't worry, 

it's not permanent. It's a tiny guest.


Meet 2026 QQ8, An asteroid  !!!


- *What is it:* ??

   A tiny asteroid, only *3 feet / 1 meter* wide. 

     Size of a football.  !!!



- *When did it come:*??

   It entered Earth's gravity in *April 2026*, but we only discovered it on *            August 20, 2026* 



- *When confirmed:* ??

    On *October 29, 2026*, it was confirmed that it is natural, not space junk. !!!



- *How long will it stay:* ??

   Only till *December 2026*.

     Then it will escape the gravity of Earth and go back to orbit the Sun. 



Will it hit us?

No.

It is doing a weird loopy, kidney-shaped orbit around Earth.


Is this first time?

No, Earth keeps catching mini moons aka asteroids  !!!
