I thought about it a lot.
Do U think it would be possible that Earths gravity catches someday an asteroid or something similar and would keep it as 2nd moon?

What precondition would be absolutly necessary?
WQould it be possible at all due to both gravitational fields of earth and moon?

Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a 2nd small moon?

Thx for sharing your thoughts in this matter...
