List of Co-orbital Satellites   

As you probably know, the Earth has only one natural orbiting body, the moon. However, you may not know that the Earth has several co-orbiting bodies - objects, most asteroids, which share the orbit of the Earth with the Earth and sometimes even enter into orbit around the Earth for periods of time. I could not find a nice comprehensive list on the internet, so here is my go at it. You can search deeper for more detailed explanation of each body.

  • J002E3 (Artificial, probably the lost S-IVB 3rd stage from Apollo 12)
  • 2003 YN107
  • 2004 GU9
  • 2001 GO2
  • 10563 Izhdubar
  • (66063)1998 RO1
  • (85990)1999 JV6
