There is no way that rock has enough gravitational attraction to hold that smaller rock in orbit.

Did you do a calculation?

Did you do a calculation? ——————— I don’t “ do “ math as I never really got the relationships...wish I had a better algebra teacher... But, and , however, the best fun my brain ever had was doing calculus and physics, interestingly enough I was able to visualize those concepts more easily. Physics was best because a formula is a formula! Now, I just use Alexa... 🇺🇸⚾️🇺🇸🇺🇸⚾️

the more massive object is also “orbiting” the less massive one at a much slower rate. They are orbiting the center of gravity of the system. it does seem unlikely that small bodies could capture each other because they have very low escape velocities. I’d guess they were of the same objectn shattered in an impact and drifted apart due to other gravitational influences and even solar wind.
