Artificial Mini-Moon Set To Fly Very Close to Earth Before Saying Farewell
On 1/22/21 at 11:56 AM EST
An artificial mini-moon is set to fly very close to Earth before leaving our planet s orbit, astronomers say.
The mini-moon, dubbed 2020 SO, is actually a 1960s-era piece of space junk that was temporarily captured by the Earth s orbit.
The object was first spotted on September 17, 2020, by the 71-inch Pan-STARRS1 telescope atop Mount Haleakala on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

Soon after its discovery, astronomers began to speculate that the object was artificial due to its unusual characteristics. Researchers subsequently determined that it was in fact the upper stage from an Atlas-Centaur rocket launched in 1966 as part of NASA s failed Surveyor 2 lunar mission.

Great Conjunctions are rare enough on their own but last night s meeting of Jupiter and Saturn was a truly once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. On the evening of Monday, December 21, the two gas giants came closer than at any time in the last 400 years - about 0.1 degrees apart - and marked the closest Great Conjunction seen in nearly 800 years. And although from our point of view the planets lengthy orbits bring them together once every 20 years, Great Conjunctions are not guaranteed to happen in the evening or the nighttime.
