First spied in the 1960s, the huge dust clouds have now been confirmed—and may affect plans for future space exploration.
Earth’s moon may not be alone. After more than half a century of speculation and controversy, Hungarian astronomers and physicists say they have finally confirmed the existence of two Earth-orbiting “moons” entirely made of dust.

Does dust REALLY count ?

If you can't land on it and move around on it, it's not a moon.

Giving them a 'pity' discovery cred just because they're Hungarian doesn't do science any favors.

The current new "second moon" is a tiny captured asteroid.

Blue moons
You three saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Oh, dust clouds can be moons but poor, maligned Pluto isn’t a planet?

They should name them Buttigieg and Chasten.

They should name them Dustpan and Ashtray.

That’s no moon. It’s a space station!
