Subject: BS: New moon? From: Mrrzy Date: 28 Feb 20 - 11:36 AM Apparently we have captured what had been an asteroid but is now orbiting our planet? Anybody else read anything about this? It may be temporary... I am purposely not posting where I read it, as I am interested in what y'all have found. |
