Earth's second moon

Earth may once have had a tiny second moon that was destroyed when it crashed into the other, larger moon, according to a new study.

Erik Ausphaug of UC Santa Cruz and Martin Jutzi at the University of Bern, Switzerland, say that the second moon was around 750 miles wide, and had only 4% of the primary moon’s mass.

The second moon may have sat in the Earth’s orbit at a Trojan point where the gravity of the Earth and the Moon balance out to keep objects relatively stable. (note One of the Earth’s two Trojan points is now occupied by a recently-discovered asteroid, read about it HERE)

NASA Head Charles Bolden Warns Of Attack From 'Outside Forces'

So one of the top brass at NASA did a family/emergency preparedness talk the other day to all NASA personnel… he said things like "We are the only agency in the federal government that's responsible for the safety and well being of not only people here on Earth but uh off this planet” (not on this world and at the space station, on and off this planet)… "think about attacks like 9/11 from outside forces" note 'outside forces' not terrorists, ... mind you, it could be that this guy is a former Marine… but ehhhhh I say Alien Invasion!
