NASA clears the air after claim that Earth now has two moons.
00:04
A single tweet claiming Earth has two moons went viral, sparking memes and mock moon landings.
00:10
In reality, NASA confirmed 2025 PN7, a small asteroid orbiting alongside Earth, but the
00:17
internet ran with the wildest version first.
00:21
NASA lists 2025 PN7 as a near-Earth object 18 to 36 meters wide that doesn't orbit Earth
00:29
but co-moves as a quasi-satellite.
00:32
Found by PanStars in early 2025 and confirmed in October 2025, it likely arrived in the
00:38
1960s and may stay until around 2083.
00:43
The Polly Market Post fused second moon with confirmed by NASA until notes clarified it
00:48
was a quasi-satellite, not a second moon.
00:52
Memes flew including, we got another moon before GTA 6 and that's no moon, echoing earlier
00:57
Mars doorway and pyramid moments.
01:00
Quasimoons like 2025 PN7 help study nearby debris and gravity, and could be accessible
01:07
mission testbeds with clues to asteroid origins.
01:11
NASA says it ranges between 4 million and 17 million kilometers from Earth, about 10 times
01:16
farther than the moon at its closest point, yet appears to move with us.
01:21
NASA predicts 2025 PN7 will keep pace for about 5 decades, drifting free by the early 2080s.
01:30
Its longevity, unlike 2024 PT5's months-long visit plus digital virality, fueled the second
01:36
moon narrative.
01:38
Online reactions turned a niche update into a culture moment of humor, skepticism, and space
01:44
distraction conspiracies.
01:46
Rep. Matt Gaetz joked, should we fake a moon landing on the second one now?
01:52
While crypto called it, bullish for Bitcoin, and moon 2.0.
01:57
NASA skipped memes quietly updating databases and listing 2025 PN7 alongside 2016 H03 and 2020
02:07
CD3.
02:08
Outlets from Yahoo to the Times of India echoed the verdict, not a second moon, a study-worthy
02:13
quasi-satellite.
