A recent talks around the scientific town is my topic of discussion today. I don't know you heard it or not that some Hungarian scientists have allegedly confirmed the existence of three Moons of our own planet!!! But they are so tiny that they reflect light faintly, so we can't see them although they are the same distance from the moon. I feel it is not correct to refer these group of dust particles as Moons. What do you think? Reference:-
New research confirms a 1961 discovery of two new moons, made up of extremely tiny dust particles and located at the same distance as the Earth’s Moon

We have millions of starts, plenty of small "planets" that do not even deserve to be called planets because are so small. Why not more than one moon.

I don't know about the three moons.. but there are hundreds of things up there.. I love the moon we have and enjoy those full moon days .. those are usually my poetry writing days.

It's too small to be called the moon.

They are not actually moons, but called Kordylewski clouds and there is an article on this topic you can look at below. Enjoy reading it. I hope it is of some interest to you. From National Geographic online.

This universe is a mystery and we can not deny this possibility of three moons to earth. I wish we could see all three and they were as beautiful as the one that we see in sky.
