The Discovery: Astronomers at Pan-STARRS Observatory in Hawaii have identified asteroid 2025 PN7, a 62-foot-wide quasi-moon that has secretly followed Earth's orbit since the 1960s. It becomes the seventh known quasi-satellite, maintaining a distance between 2.8 and 37.2 million miles from Earth.
What it means: While posing no threat to Earth, this discovery helps scientists understand near-Earth object behavior and orbital dynamics. The asteroid will continue its dance with Earth for about 60 more years before departing, offering valuable research opportunities.
