I don’t get your point. The headlines does, in fact, state a conjecture as a fact. That’s to make the story more interesting and attract clicks. When I read the headline, I assumed (incorrectly) that the attribution was due to spectral analysis, measurements of the spectrum of reflected light, or something similarly exotic. But it was based on dynamical evidence. Objects in such an orbit are short lived in astronomical timeframes, so it must only be a few million years old. There is hardly anyplace other than the moon that it could have come from.

Get some glasses and learn to read. While you are at it, stop trying to decipher a hodgepodge of letters that make no sense, you'll have a lot more time on your hands, enough to study English.

“ The headlines does, in fact, state a conjecture as a fact. ”

That is my understanding as the article is written. What i call Assumptive Journalism, where any vague ideas can presented as facts, and because it’s in an article somewhere, anywhere, it must be assumed to be fact.

Yes, i am literate, and English is my first, but not my singular, language.
