Bombard the mini moon to test Earth defenses
There are many mini moons around the earth. Their origin may be the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
In addition to the moon, there are many other small asteroids, measuring just 1-2m around our Earth, named by scientists as "mini moons".
According to research recently published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, there are many mini moons circling the earth. Their origin may be the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Due to the gravitational interactions of the sun and planets, some asteroids have strayed to the Earth and into orbit, orbiting the Earth like the moon - the planet's only natural satellite we.
According to Dr. Robert Jedicke, from the University of Hawaii (USA), the lead author of the study, it is necessary to step up the search and observation of mini moons because they will help people improve their understanding of foreign objects. hybrids and moons revolve around planets.
They can also become potential experiments for meteorite attacks, such as tools to deflect or destroy space objects. Our planet's history has been repeatedly threatened by a massive meteorite, in which the extinction of dinosaurs is also thought to be caused by a meteorite that causes global climate change for a long time.
With their size, mini moons will not endanger the earth when tested because if any debris falls, they will soon be burned and dissipated when exposed to the atmosphere.
The first object to orbit the moon outside the world was discovered by the asteroid RH120 2006, first observed 12 years ago. Observing similar asteroids is still difficult because they are so small.
The problem of mini moons is still controversial because many algorithms in planetary science determine that there exists another object that suddenly creates orbit around the moon and revolves around the earth forever as the moon is the impossible. However, the study authors said in the next few years, the identification and monitoring of mini moons is no longer difficult when a super telescope is called the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) built in Chile. put into operation.
