UPDATED:
Earth has a new moon – or at least a ‘quasi-moon’, a new study has revealed.
A quasi-moon is a space rock that circles the Earth, but is gravitationally bound by the sun.
This quasi-moon, called 2023 FW13, was discovered by experts using the Pan-STARRS telescope at the top of the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii, and is one of a handful of known quasi-moons.
