A hypothetical planet-sized Earth trojan the size of Mars, given the name Theia, is thought by proponents of the giant-impact hypothesis to be the origin of the Moon.The hypothesis states that the Moon formed after Earth and Theia collided, [10] showering material from the two planets into space.
More than a million Jupiter trojans larger than one kilometer are thought to exist, [2] of which more than 7,000 are currently catalogued. In other planetary orbits only nine Mars trojans, 31 Neptune trojans, two Uranus trojans, and two Earth trojans, have been found to date. A temporary Venus trojan is also known. Numerical orbital dynamics ...

The Siberian Forest Cat is the ultimate survivor, having honed its instincts in the harsh, freezing forests of Russia. Happily, for lovers of this friendly, interactive, and affectionate breed, it ...
Position of 2010 TK 7 relative to Earth in 2011 Effective potential plot showing Earth's Lagrangian points (not to scale); contours around L 4 and L 5 represent tadpole loop paths. Because Earth trojans share Earth's orbit and have little gravity of their own, less energy might be needed to reach them than the Moon, even though they are much ...
One of the fun facts about British shorthair cats is that they were used to breed American shorthair cats. The first record of breeding was in 1904. The first record of breeding was in 1904. 11.
Minor planets include asteroids (near-Earth objects, Earth trojans, Mars trojans, Mars-crossers, main-belt asteroids and Jupiter trojans), as well as distant minor planets (Uranus trojans, Neptune trojans, centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects), most of which reside in the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc.
