Earth has a hidden moon that has been sharing its orbit since the 1960s, researchers claim
In August 2025, Pan-STARRS Observatory made a breakthrough discovery by detecting a quasi-moon in Earth's orbit.
A recently observed object called 2025 PN7 was found orbiting near the Earth. The quasi-moon is expected to accompany our planet in a similar orbit for 60 years.
Astronomers discover asteroid 2025 PN7, earth's latest quasi-satellite, revealing insights into planetary dynamics and ...
The region where the gravitational influence of Earth is the dominant force, is called the Hill Sphere. This extends up to ...
At its nearest, 2025 PN7 comes 186,000 miles (299,337 kilometres) from Earth. Its average distance is about 238,855 miles ...
Earth’s orbit around the Sun isn’t a perfect circle—it’s slightly elliptical. Each year, around July 2 or 3, Earth reaches its farthest point from the Sun, known as aphelion. Around January 2 or 3, ...
