Well, comet Elenin didn’t work out as planned. :-)
What I don’t get it is, how is this a “second moon”? Doesn’t a body have to at least hang around and orbit a few times to qualify as a moon, or even as a satellite?
But then that’s why I’m not an astronomer.....
This is just hype to pique the interest of the unwashed masses. Everything has to be some kind of mind blow.
