Astronomers from the University of Arizona say they've discovered a mini-moon orbiting the earth. They shared images of the object discovered on Halloween last year from a telescope atop Mt. Bigelow in southern Arizona. The image shows the mini-moon passing through the constellation of Aries.

The object is not expected to impact earth, it will eventually burn up harmlessly in the earth's upper atmosphere.
