Bhang Bhang Duc Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 G-E is correct. Cruithne orbits the Sun, not the Earth and cannot be described as a satellite of the Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Prime Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I was referring to a (big) asteroid hitting Earth. Isn't that how we got our moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's one theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I was referring to a (big) asteroid hitting Earth. Isn't that how we got our moon? I'm pretty sure that theory calls for a proto-planet hitting earth rather than just a big asteroid...the Giant impact hypothesis calls for a planetary body, similar in size of Mars. That said, it's a theory, and apparently unfalsifiable, as it can be expanded to explain away future discoveries, so who knows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_impact_hypothesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
