	Earth's companion: asteroid 3753
		York University postdoctoral researcher Dr. Paul Wiegert, York University astronomy professor Dr. Kim Innanen, and Dr. Seppo Mikkola of Turku University in Finland, have discovered that an asteroid accompanying the earth in its orbit is the only natural companion to the earth other than the moon.
		The article by Wiegert, Innanen, and Mikkola is titled "An Asteroidal Companion to the Earth," and appears in tomorrow's issue (June 12, 1997) of Nature.
		The research for this study was done on the York University campus by Wiegert and Innanen, and at Turku University in Finland by Mikkola.

		York postdoctoral researcher Paul Wiegert, York astronomy professor Kim Innanen and Seppo Mikkola of Turku University in Finland have discovered that an asteroid accompanying Earth in its orbit is the only natural companion to this planet, other than the Moon.
		Wiegert and Innanen conducted computer simulations over the past eight months to support their research.
		The article by Wiegert, Innanen, and Mikkola is titled "An Asteroidal Companion to the Earth" and appears in the June 12 issue of Nature.

		On the other hand, what if "the comet was shattered by a hit from a small interplanetary boulder?" A violent collision would produce faster-moving debris that could reach Earth in 2006.
		Wiegert expects to see nothing, but he encourages sky watchers to be alert.
		Assuming a thermal breakup for 73P, Wiegert and colleagues have calculated the most likely trajectory of its dust cloud.

	RAW Story - Planet(oid) Sedna
		Paul Wiegert is an astronomer at the University of Western Ontario.
		Paul Wiegert says UWO's observatories aren't powerful enough to spot planetoids as tiny as Sedna.
		Wiegert says as scientists continue to explore they'll find new and different types of objects out there.

		On the plus side, the difference means, "we just didn't 'forget to take the lens cap off,'" said Queens University astrophysicist Paul Wiegert in an e-mail.
		The study should help reduce fears of falling comets, but just last week, an asteroid the size of a soccer field blew by the Earth at a distance scientists described as "a close shave." It would have devastated any city but no one saw it coming.
		Wiegert said scientists estimate the threat posed by comets is only about 25 per cent, while the chance of a close call from asteroids is roughly 75 per cent.

		"Many near-Earth asteroids move on orbits crossing that of the Earth, but none has previously been identified as a dynamical companion of the Earth," astronomer Paul Wiegert of Canada's York University reports in the current issue of the journal Nature.
		Wiegert and two Finnish astronomers collaborated to plot the bizarre celestial dance that actually prevents the asteroid, as it follows a path shaped roughly like a kidney bean, from colliding with the Earth as the two objects circle the sun together.
		As it draws near the Earth, gravity slightly increases the asteroid's orbital period from slightly less than a year to slightly greater, pushing the asteroid into a path that sends it spiraling forward along the orbit of the Earth, so that a collision is avoided.

		Many thanks to Graeme Waddington who supplied the xyz coordinates of Cruithne and the planets as of February 26 2000, and Paul Wiegert, Kimmo Innanen, and Seppo Mikkola whose research is responsible for most of what we know about Cruithne.
		Paul Wiegert says that two more asteroids in earth-resonant orbit have been found, 1998 UP1 and 2000 PH5.
		Here's the same thing again, but with coordinates supplied by Paul Weigert, who is studying the orbit of Cruithne.

		The astronomers who studied the asteroid's orbit, officially named Asteroid 3753, were Dr. Paul Wiegert and Dr.Kim Innanen from Toronto's York University and Dr. Seppo Mikkola from Turku University in Finland.
		When Wiegert first stumbled on the rare orbit it was a complete surprise.
		He thought he had made an error in the computer calculations and repeated the process several times before he was convinced of its authenticity.

		Because of the uncertainty, it is possible 73P could produce a meteor shower as it passes by.
		Regarding the breakup, Wiegert said the most likely explanation is thermal stress.
		Wiegert said he expects to see nothing, but it would not be the first time a dying comet produced a meteor shower.

	3753 Cruithne
		It was officially discovered on October 10, 1986 by D. Waldron, working with R. McNaught, M. Hartley and M. Hawkins at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, Australia.
		However, its unusual orbit was not determined until 1997 by Paul Wiegert[?] and Kimmo Innanen[?], working at York University in Canada, and Seppo Mikkola[?], working at the University of Turku[?] in Finland.
		Cruithne shares Earth's orbit, but does not actually orbit the Earth.

		Feel free to consider that ephemeris about as definitive as it gets, since it's produced by Paul Wiegert.
		He's one of the several astronomers who collaborated in disovering Cruithne's odd orbit, and he's the Near-Earth Asteroid 3753 webmaster.

	Near-Earth Asteroid 3753 Cruithne
		This asteroid shares the Earth's orbit, its motion "choreographed" in such a way as to remain stable and avoid colliding with our planet.
		This relationship was revealed in a paper by Paul Wiegert, Kim Innanen and Seppo Mikkola, and published in the British-based science journal Nature on June 12, 1997.
		A brief non-technical description of the motion of Cruithne is presented below.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Asteroid follows Earth around orbit
		But it will not be a genuine moon because its orbit will still be controlled by the Sun.
		Paul Wiegert of Queen's University, Ontario, Canada, says: "Both the Earth and the asteroid still both go around the Sun, but the relative looping motion of the asteroid in some ways resembles a satellite orbit, with an apparent period of one year."
		Another asteroid, 3753 Cruithne was found to move around the Earth in a similar horseshoe orbit in 1997.

		With that encouragement Paul, Joe, and I took on a project to build a model home in Wausau for display purposes and for use as a teaching laboratory for NTC students and local contractors.

		York University astronomers, working with a Finnish colleague, have discovered a mysterious "companion" to the Earth, shedding more light on the origins of our solar system.
		Discovered in 1986, Asteroid 3753 measures between one and ten kilometers in diameter, and has an inclined and eccentric path that crosses the orbits of both Earth and Venus.
		Although discovered 11 years ago, no one had tracked its path thoroughly enough to detect its rare "horseshoe" orbit.
