megangibson+FollowEarth’s Secret Mini Moons?!Turns out Earth’s got a whole squad of mini moons tagging along! Scientists just revealed we usually have about six tiny moons (aka 'minimoons') orbiting us at any time—most are actually bits of our real moon, knocked loose by asteroid impacts. These space pebbles can hang around for years before drifting off or crashing down. The wildest part? Some of these so-called asteroids are actually our moon’s long-lost fragments. Mind = blown! #Science #SpaceFacts #Minimoons171Share
