I looked it up. The
rock is named Cruithne. From
Wiki, (( It
has been incorrectly called "Earth's
second moon",
but it is aquasi-satellite[2],
not a moon. Cruithne does not orbit Earth, and at times it is on the
other side of the Sun.[3] Its
orbit takes it inwards towards the orbit of Mercury, and outside the
orbit of Mars.[3] Cruithne
orbits the Sun in about 1 year, but it takes 770 years for the series
to complete a horseshoe-shaped movement, with the Earth in the gap of
the horseshoe.
))
So, they are wrong.
It is incorrectly called a moon. It is just one of those guys that
shows up late to a party with more beer more than anything else.
I
also looked around the WWW and found this story. From Universe
Today, ((Of
course, it would be a very small moon.
Perhaps no more than a meter across. But a moon nonetheless. And
there could even be others – many others – much smaller than
that. Little bits of solar system leftovers, orbiting our planet even
farther out than the Moon we all know and love, coming and going in
short-lived flings with Earth without anyone even knowing.
))
So, it is
interesting that people believe this to be true. Now,
the Earth having two suns at one time might be true...
