Answer 8

Near-Earth asteroid 3753 Cruithne

--Earth's curious companion--

The asteroid's behaviour is pretty complicated. It doesn't orbit the Earth, but rather it shares the Earth's orbit.

The name "Cruithne" refers the first Celtic racio-tribal group to come to the British Isles, appearing between about 800 and 500 B.C., and coming from the European continent. They were also known as the Picts.

The correct pronunciation for 'Cruithne' is "krooy-nyuh".

Answer 9

The "two moons in the sky" email going around says that Mars will appear the same size as the Moon.  However, Mars is currently on the far side of the Sun from us, and so will not make an appearance at even 1/100th the size of the Moon.

In the original, and quite accurate, 2003 email, the August 27th opposition (in 2003) had Mars so close that in a 100x telescope, Mars would look the same size as the Moon (without a telescope).  This let you get an idea on how much detail you could see of Mars in a backyard telescope.

The next Mars opposition is in January 2010.  It won't be as awesome as it was in 2003, but it will be pretty good all the same.

Answer 16

The asteroid Cruithne has been called "Earth's Second Moon" because of its peculiar orbit which is influenced by the Earth, but it is not really a moon at all.
