Let’s hope Earth’s gravity field doesn’t rip it loose! Maybe it was a “triple system” last time it came around? Maybe the Mayans knew what they were talking about,,,,, er,,,, probably not!

NASA said that about 16 percent of asteroids are binary or even triple systems.

Oh, great. And the Boy Scouts have been discriminating against them all these years.

I’m starting to suspect that some asteroids have an associated cluster of material in their general trajectory from earlier collisions. If this is the case, there should be an increase in meteorites before and after a major fly by.

I admit that I cannot understand how gravity works, but I had no idea the an asteroid could attract a moon.

It’s a female asteroid and her calf. They are leaving the birthing grounds and headed north to the feeding grounds.
