Earth has a new mini-moon; and it's there since 3 years

A tiny object has been captured by the Earth and it has been pulled into the orbit. It's not the moon, but you can call it mini-moon. Researcher specialists for the Catalina Sky Survey - Kacper Wierzchos and Theodore Pruyne discovered the so-called 'mini-moon', which is an asteroid known as 2020 CD3. The asteroid is the only second asteroid known to orbit Earth. While it won't last long, it acts as a temporary mini-moon whirling around our planet.
