Our sky is populated with stars, but only one moon decorates it; Unlike other planets that have dozens of moons, such as Jupiter and Saturn, a new study published in the scientific journal “Nature” has revealed an unexpected surprise, namely the presence of a second hidden moon orbiting the planet. Earth since 2016. This moon is called “Kamooalewa”.

The duration of Earth’s second moon
Forbes International magazine reported that like the moon Which rotates in a repetitive path, similar to a corkscrew, which repeats its movement around the Earth for at least another 300 years or millions of years; Scientists reached this conclusion using computer models of the far side of the Moon, and this asteroid is one of the near-Earth asteroids originating from the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Moon Likeness Details
Kamuwalewa’s moon, also known as “2016 HO3” meaning “oscillating celestial body”, measures approximately 40 to 100 meters, roughly the size of the Statue of Liberty. Its strange movement was first discovered in 2016 by “Pan-STARRS”. “, a group of telescopes in Hawaiian, designed to find near-Earth objects.
Scientists will soon know more information about… Earth’s second moon, Tianwen-2, China’s first asteroid sampling mission, is scheduled to visit Kamualoa next year; This will be the first mission to study an asteroid several tens of meters in size, the most common and least understood small object.
Kamoalewa is expected to orbit near Earth for millions of years, while the Giordano Bruno crater is located on the far side of the Moon, often mistakenly called the “far side.”
