It's called 2020-CD3 and was apparently captured by Earth's gravity a few months ago. Astronomers expect it to wander away again later this year. It's about the size of a car.

How did a car get way out there?

Avatar of Andrea

Was stolen by Orcs !!

Avatar of barnhagon

I'm not surprised, thieves will lift anything they can get their hands on.  I don't suppose they've discovered a pipe wrench floating out there, about 9 inches long with red tape on the handle...?

Sorry guys........I pass every morning with the tram the TESLA shop in Basel, and even this morning the Tesla car is visible in the shop-window!

I find this thoroughly fascinating:

"K
Korbáciky is a ‘string cheese’ from Slovakia, which is traditionally rolled on women’s thighs (yes) and knotted together into braids. It is sometimes flavoured with smoke and garlic."
