🔊Your chance to officially name one of Earth's quasi-moons!
Sadly the name has to be a mythological, so "Moony-McMoonface" is already out of the running. Get your thoughts in, deadline: 30th Sept 24. 🧪🔭

And if you're wondering, what is a Quasi-moon? It's a sneaky asteroid that looks like it's orbiting us, like a proper moon, but it isn't really because it's just orbiting the Sun in a funky way. 🔭

Is there a restriction on what mythologies can be used? E.g. is "Batsignal" ok even though it's a 20th Century American mythology?

Shouldn't at least one quasi-moon be named Modo?

Not your pet name? What if my pet has a mythological name? 😂 (actually, is ruled out because is already used for a minor planet. I don't think there're many names left from Greco-Roman mythology)
