“Mini” Is Overselling It ∞

Doing one quick lap around Earth

Tuesday, September 17th, 2024

When I saw the headline “Earth to have new mini-moon for two months”, I was pretty intrigued. I may be over the moon coverage, but a second moon? Now that I can get into. Or I could, if it were bigger than 10 meters across, anyway. That’s closer to a micromoon, and it won’t even be visible with a telescope, let alone the naked eye. Sorry to raise your hopes and then dash them so quickly.
