Land has at least 2 mini moon – | Iranian and world news

A new study shows that some crushed pieces of the moon may orbits the Earth for a short time and then move towards orbit around the sun, according to . But observing mini moons is difficult because of their small size and high speed.

When heavenly bodies hit the moon, they scatter a bunch of materials, some of which are spread in space. Although sometimes a large piece may be separated from the moon as a result of such a process, most of the time these pieces are less than two meters in diameter and move quickly. The masses of the moon enters the sun’s orbit because they have a more powerful gravity, but some space waste is drawn to the Earth’s orbit before they go around the sun.

Although the International Union of Astronomy has no formal definition of mini -moon, earlier research suggests that a mini -moon may be an object that at least temporarily orbits the ground.

Mini moons originate from various points in the Solar System, but a study showed that most of their origin is from the asteroid belt that circulates between Mars and the customer, which recently questioned the emergence of several mini -moon for the month.

In the year 9, Texopi in Hawaii identified an object near the Earth with a diameter of 2 to 5 meters, which orbits the Earth around the sun. Subsequent research showed that this object was part of the moon that was separated from the moon one to three million years ago.

Earlier this year, astronomers identified the second temporary moon with the origin of the moon. The object discovered last year is called 6pt3 and is more like a month, not asteroid. The presence of these two heavenly objects suggests that the moon is likely to lead to smaller moons. Therefore, the researchers decided to calculate the number of possible mini -moons. Given the observations of how the particles separated from the moon behave, they found that many particles and parts of the planet that are emitted in space may be at least temporarily absorbed, and about one -fifth of them are likely to become mini -moon.

According to the new findings, it is expected that 1.5 moon born from the moon will simultaneously circulate around the ground. These objects can be changed separately; If they can be considered today and then again in a year, some of them will be new objects. According to the researchers, an ordinary mini -minor ripening on average about six months around the Earth.
