🔺A quasi-satellite named Kamo`aolewa, tracking the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, could be a fragment from the moon
🔺Spotted in 2006 by the panstarrs telescope in Hawaii.
🔺It is a near-Earth object (NEO) that orbits the Sun and gets as close as about 9 million miles from Earth.
🔺 Because of its small size (about 50 metres wide), this quasi-satellite has been difficult for scientists to study.
