Kamo'oalewa) (also known as 2016-H03), a small asteroid that orbits the Sun alongside Earth has been known to science since 2016. However, the rock's origins have always remained a mystery to researchers. Now, new observations by University of Arizona (UA) astronomers indicate that the Ferris-wheel-sized space rock may be a piece of our Moon that broke off almost 500 million years ago!

              bruh... this is so cool. What intrigues me tho is that no scientist discovered this before.

                    Don't worry, because even if this managed to get through the atmoshphere without burning up, the impact wouldnt be big enough to draw any damage ;)

                      when a space rock hits the earth atmosphere it breaks into a tiny piece so no need to worry
