The scientists at NASA have discovered a 'mini-moon'- a small object trapped in the gravitational pull of the Earth, that is approaching earth and is estimated to come as close as around 43,000 km away from the planet. According to the scientists, the mini-moon is estimated to orbit the Earth from October this year to May 2021. Dr. Paul Chodas from NASA said the mini-moon named Asteroid 2020 SO seems to be human-made.
