“If it is gravitationally bound to the sun, then how come it circles the earth?”

Bingo. Doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Oh, it’s something in orbit. I was afraid Lizzo or Stacy Abrams dropped trou. ;-)

The article is very poorly written. Typical.

I followed the video, but I still don’t quite understand. There are two objects, one orbiting the other, independent of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun?

A quasi-moon is a space rock that circles the Earth, but is gravitationally bound by the sun.

Space rock, eh?

UFO was considered a “space rock” band until first guitarist Mick Bolton left and former Scorpions guitarist Michael Schenker joined. Their second album, “Flying”, was subtitled “One Hour Space Rock”.

Lemmy’s first hit single was with space rock band Hawkwind, a song called “Silver Machine”.

For anyone wondering:

Not 30-50 miles
Not 30-50 kilometers
Not 30-50 yards.

It’s only 30-50 feet in diameter, barely a space pebble. New moon...lol.

FTA: affectionately known as ‘Luna’

^^^^^
Why would the author use such a phrase. Makes no sense.

Well, at least he uses “BC” and “AD” instead of the ridiculous “BCE,” etc.
