The Chinese have taken the first images of Earth's "mini moon"

Kitajska sonda, del misije Tianwen-2, je poslala prve fotografije asteroida 2016 HO3, imenovanega tudi Kamo'oalewa, ki se zdi kot 'mini luna' zaradi svoje podobne orbite kot Zemlja. Asteroid je trenutno oddaljen 41,5 milijona kilometrov, kar je več kot 100-krat dalje od Lune, vendar ima orbito, ki jo deli z Zemljo, kar mu omogoča, da se zdi kot kroži okoli nje. To telo, imenovano tudi 'kvazisatelit', je bilo odkrit in sleden od leta 2016. Astronom Dr. Paul Chodas je dejal, da je Kamo'oalewa stabilen kvazisatelit, ki bo krožil okoli Zemlje še stoletje. Sonda je posnemala asteroid na razdalji 20 kilometrov, kar omogoča novi pogled na to nebesno telo, o katerem vedemo še malo.
