The discovery of a new “Similar Moon” spinning with Earth sciences

Astronomy still surprises us with new time to time, and this is the new time, is to find a new moon similar, accompanying our planet for 60 years, and it may last for a similar period, called “BN Seven 2025” (2025 PN7).

Over a period of 4.5 billion years, our planet had a fixed and reliable heavenly companion, the “moon”, which has an important role in our lives, starting with its impact on the tidal movement, to help in stabilizing the seasons of the year.

But astronomers have discovered since 1991 the likes of the moon, whose number was before the new discovery published in the “Research of Nuts of the American Astronomic Susiti” journal 6, and the study added to them, similar to seventh.

And “lunar likes”, as the planetary association in America explains, is basically asteroids that appear to us from the Earth’s perspective as if it revolves around our planet like a permanent moon, but it is in fact revolving around the sun and is temporarily moved through the solar system along the Earth.

Unique specifications for a new similar

The first moon similar was to the body known as “1991 in G”, which, when discovering speculation about being a space probe from another civilization, but with the passage of decades, it became clear that these bodies are normal and form a kind of “secondary belt” of asteroids that share the Earth around the sun.

Among the most prominent of these bodies is “Kamoʻoalewa”, which accompanies the land in its orbit for a period of up to 381 years, while the new expatriate “seventh -like of the moon” that scientists called the name “BN Seven 2025”, is much smaller than the rest of the objects and less stable, but it adds a new chapter to the story of the earth comrades in space.

The new analogy does not exceed 19 meters (62 feet), that is, a little smaller than the meteorite that exploded over Chelepinsk in Russia in 2013, and it was officially ranked as bright (apparent) 26, meaning that it is only seen through good telescopes.

According to Carlos de la Fuente Marcus – researcher of the University of Comblonesi in Madrid and the study participant – he believes that the asteroid “BN Seven 2025” has accompanied our planet for nearly 60 years, and will remain so for a similar period before moving away from his cosmic journey.

“This asteroid is small and very low, and the chances of watching it from the Earth are not favorable, so it is not strange that it remains hidden throughout this period,” Marcos added.

From monitoring to documentation

The first monitoring of this asteroid was on July 30, 2025, when the Ban-Stars 1 Observatory, located in Hawaii (Halicala Summit), took pictures of it, and its shine was at 26, that is, it can only be seen with large telescopes.

The asteroid’s observations were subsequently raised to the International Astronomical Union, which issues official circulars when monitoring new bodies, and the first circular was published on August 29, 2025, confirming its initial path.

Then came the “tropical analysis” step, as an amateur astronomer and a French scientific journalist named Adrian Kovinier made accounts throughout its orbits, and on August 30, 2025, he wrote on the list of correspondence for small planets that his accounts show that the asteroid is not just an ordinary asteroid, but is a semi -moon.

Later on, a team of Spanish researchers from the University of Comblotomy in Madrid reviewed the orbit, and published their research, which shows that the body is already moving in a simultaneous orbit with the Earth for nearly 60 years and will remain so for a similar period.

The planetary assembly said that “the semi -satellites and small (temporary) satellites are pieces of our nearby space environment, carrying secrets of their origins, whether they are from the asteroid belt or from fragments of previous collisions with the moon or the Earth.”

The association stressed that “its understanding (semiconductor and small moons) helps us to learn more about the nature of asteroids and the extent of its potential threat to our planet.”
