Well, one thing's for certain, peculiar things sometimes happen to those who eat moon cheese a bit too frequently.

Scientists believe Kamo’oalewa will remain alongside Earth for millions of years. Could a near-Earth asteroid be a piece of the moon? Astronomers from the University of Arizona believe so. In a captivating cosmic discovery, scientists uncovered evidence suggesting that a near-Earth asteroid called Kamo’oalewa might be a fragment of the moon.
The finding challenges previous assumptions about the origins of near-Earth asteroids and could have significant implications for our understanding of celestial bodies close to our planet.

Wow! Is it Stilton or Gorgonzola?
“ The headlines does, in fact, state a conjecture as a fact. ”

When I was in elementary school they tried to tell us the Moon was there to shield the Earth from meteors!
It works! All the craters on the far side of the moon are from asteroids that would have hit earth. If you have a semi-truck and a Tesla blocking for each other, the semi (the earth) is going to do a better job of shielding than the Tesla, but he’ll intercept a few.
Wow, who peed in your cornflakes this morning, sunshine?
LOL!
Can’t address the issue so resorting to insults? Have my corn flakes clown...
Sorry, but you started the pointless personal invective. I merely was inquiring about the source.
That might be a fun object to park a science package on.
Has anyone mapped the back side of the moon? Yes
Are there a bunch of impact craters there also? No
Thanks Lonesome in Massachussets.
