I ran into the article below about Earth's temporary moons
while trying to find more about this asteroid. One of the
temporary moons, 200 meters in diameter, is thought to have
been in orbit around the earth for the last 500 years so far.

and here's something on the crater under Antarctic ice that
might have triggered the greatest of all the great extinctions,
the Permian extinction, 250 million years ago. The article
may be gone soon, judging from the brevity of the URL.

This asteroid seems to be about the size that a telescope nearby on
Maui is attempting to detect. But perhaps the scope's main job really
is to look for something coming from North Korea?
