A small asteroid has been found circling Earth as the two objects orbit the sun together

>A small asteroid has been found circling Earth as the two objects orbit the sun together.
>Scientists say it looks like the asteroid -- called 2016 HO3 -- has been out there for about 50 years and isn't going away anytime soon.
>"Our calculations indicate 2016 HO3 has been a stable quasi-satellite of Earth for almost a century, and it will continue to follow this pattern as Earth's companion for centuries to come,"

Space colonies anyone?

>NASA says that because the asteroid is so far away it can't be considered a natural moon, or satellite. Instead, they're calling it a "quasi-satellite."
>quasi-satellite

Fucking damnit, NASA, do you have to ruin everything ?

THAT'S IT

THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HIDING

>THAT'S IT
>THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HIDING
Nazis?

That and the fact that it is just doing barrel rolls around the Earth while orbiting the Sun.

Lizard people.

That movie was ridiculously bad, but I still found it entertaining because of the swastika-shaped spaceships.

It's the size of a football field.

>HO3
>not (OH)3
>what is even bound to 3 of them
nasa can't even into hydroxides

Do you guys even look up?

Sorry guys

>Earth orbital period
>365.256 d
>2016 HO3 orbital period
>365.931 d
I'm skeptical

>asteroid follows Earth for 50 years
>nobody sees it until now
we're gonna get hit by a dinosaur killer and nobody will see it until it hits.

The eccentricity of the earth is not that big. Fake picture.

Why?

Remains of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs?

Its been in orbit for 100 years and the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is part of the seabed of the gulf of mexico

and the sun isn't even at one of the foci

The difference is why it circled the sun on its own for a while

duhhh, size is relative man.
Do you even sci?

The lizard people aren't infiltrating our society to control our governments or steal our resources.
They're here on shore-leave from their fucking tiny ship.
