Here's an animated GIF of our new mini-moon 2020 CD3, discovered by @WierzchosKacper. Rotating frame keeps the Earth/Sun line stationary. Orbital elements courtesy of IUA MPEC. https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K20/K20DA4.html …

Wait the mini moon is the red or white line? And How big is that mini moon ? And how did we not saw it before?
-
I believe the white circle is Earth’s orbit around the Sun and the red line is the moon’s orbit around the Earth. And it’s about 7-11 feet(about the size of a car).

Confused. With my basic understanding of mechanics, I can't see how an object coming from infinity in a gravitional field could ever get captured by the field. Traversal should be hyperbolic, only 1 pass. Must be missing something...
-
With the help of the Moon and Lagrange point 1, it was captured.
