NPR: Earth's Many Moons

NPR has an article that focuses on Earth's many moons.

This is not a joke.  It's an article that describes the celestial bodies that orbit the Earth.  They're not man-made satellites, but they're actual asteroids that are 1-2 meters in diameter.

I thought this was interesting - since we cannot see these objects with our own eyes because they travel so quickly and there's a lack of contrast to view them in the night sky.

I'm surprised there's even an awareness to these small and speedy bodies that orbit our planet.  What's even weirder are the orbital paths they take - which are probably influenced by various gravitational pulls of other bodies like our moon or the sun.

Anyway, enjoy!
