Well, they're sure acting like stalkers:
You might recall that in late 2024, Earth gained a temporary mini-moon, an asteroid that partially orbited our planet for about two months. Now astronomers have discovered another temporary companion to Earth, but this time it’s a quasi-moon. The Pan-STARRS observatory on Haleakala in Hawaii first spotted the quasi-moon, named 2025 PN7, on August 29, 2025. Older data revealed that 2025 PN7 has been in this particular orbit for about 60 years and will stay in this orbit for about another 60 years before the tug of the sun once again releases it from its quasi-moon status.
Huh.
