There are stars in our sky, but only one moon adorns it; Unlike other planets that have dozens of moons, such as Jupiter and Saturn, a new study published in the scientific journal “Nature” revealed an unexpected surprise, which is the presence of a hidden second moon that has existed the orbit around the Earth since 2016. . This moon is called “Kamooalewa” information about the second moon is a new moon mission.
The length of Earth’s second moon
Forbes International magazine reported that Moon-like Which rotates in a repetitive path, like a corkscrew that repeats its movement around the Earth for at least another 300 years or millions of years; Scientists came to this conclusion using computer models from the far side of the Moon, and it is included among the near-Earth asteroids that came from the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter .
Details of the appearance of the moon
The moon Kamuwalewa, also known as “2016 HO3” meaning “heavenly oscillating body,” is about 40 to 100 meters in size, or about the size of the Statue of Liberty. Its strange motion was first discovered in 2016 by “Pan-STARRS,” a group of telescopes in Hawaii, designed to find near-Earth objects.
Scientists will soon know more about… The second moon on the earth, Tianwen-2, China’s first asteroid sampling mission, is scheduled to visit Kamualoa next year; This is the first mission to study an asteroid tens of meters in size, the most common and least understood small object.
Kamoalewa is expected to orbit close to Earth for millions of years, while the Giordano Bruno crater is located on the far side of the moon, commonly known as the “dark side”.
