Earth Has a Second, 'Mini' Moon, Says NASA

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

NASA says asteroid 2016 HO3, which we first heard about via writer George Dvorsky at Gizmodo, is currently locked into "a little dance" with Earth.
The rock’s orbit is irregular, causing it to drift between 38 and 100 times the distance of our planet’s primary Moon, and bob up and down across Earth’s orbital plane.
NASA says it’s larger than 120 feet (36.5 metres) across but no more than 300 feet (91 metres) wide, has likely orbited our world for about a century, and will stick around for many more centuries to come.
