Holy fuck! We have another Moon!

It's named Cruithne, and it has a really bizarre orbit. From this website:

The name "Cruithne" was given to it by its discoverers (see below), and refers the first Celtic racio-tribal group to come to the British Isles, appearing between about 800 and 500 B.C., and coming from the European continent. They were also known as the Picts. The correct pronunciation for 'Cruithne' is 'croo-een-ya'. The emphasis should be on the 'een'.


Those wacky Celts! I wonder what the astrologers will make of this one.
