A Piece of Our Moon May Be Trailing Mars
Scientists have discovered that an asteroid trailing behind Mars could actually be a fragment of the Moon. The space rock, which is known by the catchy name (101429) 1998 VF31, is one of a number of trojan asteroids in our solar system – objects which share the same orbital path as one of the planets. What makes this particular example … Continue reading
