A small asteroid lingered close to Earth in its orbit around the Sun , temporarily caught by Earth ’s gravity to become a far away mini-moon.

The asteroid may be made up of rock that broke off from the Moonâs surface and was ejected into space in the aftermath of a large impact.

The discovery of Moon -related asteroids could increase as telescopes become sensitive to spotting smaller space rocks.
