Can Zoozve Orbit BOTH the Sun and Venus? Oh, and What is Zoozve?
<p>Here’s the short version of the story (but the full version is very fun). Basically he was looking at this illustration of the solar system which includes an object labeled zoozve as a moon of Venus. This is actually the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(524522)_2002_VE68" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">object 2002-VE68 </a>(which looks like zoozve if you squint). It’s a one of the many asteroids in our solar system.</p>
<p>The even more fun part is that zoozve is not considered a moon of Venus, but it’s also <em>kind of</em> a moon of Venus. It’s a quasi-satellite of Venus. This means that although it has a gravitational interaction with the Sun, it’s also influenced by Venus.</p>
<p>Of course OUR moon isn’t a quasi-moon, it pretty much stays in orbit around the Earth. However, the moon is also orbiting the Sun — you can’t neglect that interaction.</p>
