Cruithne is expected to undergo a rather close encounter with Venus in about 8,000 years, however.

I'll have my telescope ready...

It’s trapped between Mars and Venus with US and our Moon causing depressions in the fabric of space-time making it roll around like a pin ball................

Looks more like it is in orbit around the sun and happens to stay out of Erf’s way.

Come along quietly now, Badger.
I've stuck with you through some fantastic stuff, but this "Cruithne" needs to be "walked back" to the American Legion bar.

"Cruithne" ..... I have on reliable authority, is an elaborate pre-St. Patrick's Day hoax, is it? Fell off the planet "Diesel," did it? Made of Green Cheese?

"Trapped between Mars and Venus," or astronomer tries hand at soft porn novel? Come to think of it, there was a girl from McKees Rocks named Cruithne, her old man ran a b........

But thank you for your accurate depiction of the Obama Administration, i.e.:
.....depressions in the fabric of space-time making it roll around like a pin ball................

It’s an intelligent life deep space probe that has collected debris. It is the source of all alien abductions. The aliens have been hiding the mother ship in plain site for some time.

Here's a fun website to play with. You can build yoour own solar system, or put one planet or dozens in orbit around a primary of your choice....big or small.

Try placing a huge sun in the middle, then put a large planet in a circular orbit (that's a tough one) and then try to put a moon in orbit around your planet (even tougher). It's addictive.
