As I mentioned on a previous reply, dont beleieve everything you read in the media, someone will have written/researched the article, but who is to know if they are the expert? And experts often disagree!
To answer your question, that isnt true, the Earth only has one big moon. We may have very small chunks of rock or ice that have drifted past and been captured by our gravity and orbit around us, but these are very tiny compared to the Moon. The moon is almost a 1/3rd the size of the Earth and our moon is the biggest moon in the Solar System.
Hello Lolly, I haven’t heard of this. It sounds somewhat strange and interesting, but I am afraid that I cannot answer your question. Perhaps you might ask someone in the Space Zone. Good luck.
I think Jamie hit the nail on the head here. There are lots of bits and pieces of materials orbiting the earth including an asteroid belt, but all are much too small to be categorised as a moon.
