Earth's mini-moon

Earth's temporary mini moon :-
A pairs pf astronomers discovered yhe miniature moon on the night of February 15, 2020. It showed up in the nightly observations of the Cataline Sky Survey, a NASA- funded project in Arizona.
            The new mini-moon, 2020 CD3, was discovered using a 1.52 metre telescope at Mount Lemmon Observatory near Tuscon, Arizona.
             The orbit of the newly discovered object, 2020 CD3 shows that it entered Earth's orbit some three years ago. The object has a diameter 1.9-3.5 metre assuming a C-type asteroid albedo. But it's a big deal as out of approximately one million known asteroids, this is just the second asteroid known to orbit Earth ( after 2006 RH120, which was also discovered by the Cataline Sky Survey)
             Scientists assume after observing the irregular path of this asteroid ( mini-moon ) that within next 5-6 months the object will free from Earth's gravitational force and will move forward in this endless Universe.
