The President of The Astronomical Society in Jeddah , Engineer Majid Abu Zahrai , that astronomers have recently managed to discover a new asteroid classified as a “semi -moon” that accompanies the Earth in its orbit around the sun, called it 2025 PN7, and the smallest moon is monitored near our planet until now. Very, which explains the delay in its discovery for years, although it may have been accompanying the Earth in its orbit for decades. It does not revolve around it directly as the natural moon does. For about 60 years, before the sun’s appeal affects its path and pushes it to a different orbit like a “horseshoe” orbit. PN7 is not visible with the naked eye due to its intense fascination, as it is about 26, which requires the use of advanced telescopes equipped with highly sensitive cameras to monitor it, while home telescopes or regular endoscopy are not enough. It intersects with the Earth’s path, which may lead to a possible collision. Even if a default collision occurs, its small size will make its effect limited compared to large asteroids. /> Abu Zahrah confirms this discovery the dynamic nature of the space neighborhood of the Earth, and opens the way for scientists to study these small bodies that may reveal a lot about the date of The solar system .
