If Cruithne's orbit is determine by both the Earth and Luna, it would be more like a Trojan asteroid than a moon.

Not to nitpick, but doesn't a moon have to orbit the planet? It seems like Cruithne should be designated "co-dependent minor planet". :) Also, since J002E3 appears to share earth's orbit, instead of orbiting earth, it should fall into the "minor planet" category?-----Original Message-----

astronomers.
