Earth Has Just One Moon: Right, Think Again

"Everybody knows that there's just one Moon orbiting the Earth. But a new study by an international team of astronomers concludes that everybody is dead wrong about that."

"'At any time there are one or two one-meter diameter asteroids in orbit around the Earth,' says Robert Jedicke, an astronomer at the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii."

"Since most of these objects are too small to see, Jedicke had to use indirect methods to reach his conclusions. He started with a few well known facts."
