2016 Ho3 facts
While investigating facts about 2016 Ho3, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Earth has a second moon called 2016 Ho3. Essentially a large asteroid, it orbits the Earth non elliptically but has the most stable orbit of Earths " other moons".
About 2016H03,which is the most stable quasi-satellite,or an almost moon. As it orbits the Sun, 2016 HO3 appears to circle around Earth as well. It is too distant to be a true satellite of Earth, but is the best and most stable example of a quasi-satellite, a type of near-Earth object.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about 2016 Ho3 I managed to collect.
