Part of the conversation: Viral NASA claims: teen's planet and Earth's quasi-moon
@SciNatureNews made two NASA-related claims. One says a 17-year-old discovered a planet about 6.9 times larger than Earth on the third day of his NASA internship, with 43.5K likes and 920.7K views. The other says NASA confirmed that asteroid 2025 PN7 is a quasi-moon companion, so that until 2083 Earth has two Moons, with 19.1K likes and 1.1M views.
Why it mattersBoth claims come from one account and drew high likes and views, so the account's framing is what is spreading.

NASA has confirmed that a small asteroid, named 2025 PN7, is acting as a "quasi-moon" or "mini-moon" companion to Earth. Until 2083 you can say that Earth has two Moons. https://t.co/YY3B2D4DUh
