It is designated as an asteroid. However, to astronomers asteroids are minor planets or lumps of rock. The difference is that this minor planet or lump of rock is in orbit not around the sun, but around the Earth. It circles the Earth every 49.5 days along an elliptical path which sometimes has it 840,000 km (520,000 miles) from Earth, sometimes a trifling 300,000 km, and tilted at 21 degrees from the plane of the Earth's own orbit around the sun." http://www.guardian.co.uk/spacedocumentary/story/0,2763,789827,00.html From: Keith Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 16:42:21 -0400 Subject: Re: Canadian discovers second moon Yeah, I heard about this story...
