[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Earth will have a temporary 'mini moon' for two months

[John P. Rudy]

I saw a cartoon a few days ago of a medieval soldier” being carried down off the parapet with arrows in his ass.  He had been mooning the enemy.  Here is a parapet.

Semantics aside, this object will be orbiting the Earth for a couple of months. During that time it might be considered a moon, or not, again depending on semantics.

 

So, is Pluto a planet?

It’s not at all a moon: it isn’t captured in a stable orbit around our Earth.  

 

It’s a “moon” to people with impoverished vocabularies.

Curious why this is called a "mini moon", when at 10 meters its volume is about 4x10^16 smaller than the moon?  Perhaps it should be called a "sub-femto moon"  😜
