A chunk of space rock that visited near Earth's orbit last year was widely referred to as a "mini-moon." Turns out the lunar-inspired moniker may have been more accurate than we realized.

A small space rock that lingered near Earth last year and was referred to as its temporary “mini-moon” may actually be a chunk of the moon that chipped off thousands of years ago. The ...
