Where's the second moon?
So we had it for some 16 years and I just found out...Earth's second one is called Cruithne. It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity.![]()
ahh you missed the following days' report which said the 'third moon' was a piece of space junk probably from apollo 12

We've been so gung'ho with regard to polluting our own piece of space, (like the planet as a whole I guess), it is a wonder that there are only a few unidentified objects floating around up there.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
