It is a well-known astronomical convention that Earth has only one natural satellite, which is known (somewhat uncreatively) as “the moon.” However, astronomers have known for a little over a decade that Earth also has a population of what are known as “transient moons.” These are a subset of near-Earth objects (NEOs) that are temporarily scooped up by Earth’s gravity and assume orbits around our planet.
