Earth has a new 'MOON', scientists reveal – and it's here to stay for at least 1,500 years

Space rock called 2023 FW13 was found with the Pan-STARRS telescope, Hawaii

Experts say it will keep circling our planet for another 1,500 years until AD 3700

Earth has a new moon - or at least a 'quasi-moon', a new study has revealed.
A quasi-moon is a space rock that circles the Earth, but is gravitationally bound by the sun.
This quasi-moon, called 2023 FW13, was discovered by experts using the Pan-STARRS telescope at the top of the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii, and is one of a handful of known quasi-moons.
Experts think the ancient cosmic companion has been in Earth's vicinity since 100 BC and will keep circling our planet for at least another 1,500 years, until AD 3700.
Thankfully, neither 2023 FW13 or a similar quasi-moon called 469219 Kamoʻoalewa are thought to pose any danger to people on Earth.
'You guys realize you're not in the real world': Biden mocks reporters for debt ceiling questions and laughs when asked about DeSantis pardoning Trump as he heads to Delaware for one night
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12137245/You-guys-realize-youre-not-real-world-Biden-mocks-reporters-debt-ceiling-questions.html
President Joe Biden dismissed questions about the state of play for a debt limit and budget deal, saying reporters who questioned him aren't in the 'real world' – then mocked their negotiating skills and said he would be foolish to talk up the compromise before the looming vote.
Biden made the comments as he left the White House after taking part in a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, as his agreement with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was taking shots from both the conservative right and the progressive left – including from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
He hailed it as a 'bipartisan deal' that deserved passage and would clear Congress by the 'X date' of June 5th when the nation would go into default.

(PHOTO OF CARLOS SAAVEDRA) A marketing executive at Target also serves as the treasurer of a LGBT organization which receives millions of dollars from the retailer and advocates allowing trans and nonbinary school students to keep their gender identity secret from parents. Carlos Saavedra, 43, is Target's vice president for brand management and also volunteers as a director at GLSEN, which supports LGBTQ youth in schools. Details of Saavedra's role at GLSEN come as Target's donations to the organization were placed under the spotlight following a backlash to the retailer's Pride month range, which includes 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear. Target has reportedly donated $2.1 million to GLSEN, whose policies include ensuring school staff should 'ensure that all personally identifiable and medical information relating to transgender and nonbinary students is kept confidential'.

Carlos Saavedra, 43, is Target's vice president for brand management and also volunteers as a director at GLSEN, which supports LGBTQ youth in schools.
Details of Saavedra's role at GLSEN come as Target's donations to the organization were placed under the spotlight following a backlash to the retailer's Pride month range, which includes 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear.
Target has reportedly donated $2.1 million to GLSEN, whose policies include ensuring school staff should 'ensure that all personally identifiable and medical information relating to transgender and nonbinary students is kept confidential'.
GLSEN's policy said this should include withholding the information from 'parents or guardians… unless the student has authorized such disclosure'. Critics say the policy 'violates [a parents'] right to parent their own children]'.
Target says on its website: 'GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission.'
Saavedra joined target in July 2019 and was made Vice President, Brand Management in January 2021, according to his LinkedIn page.
His profile says he joined GLSEN as a board member in May 2019 and was elected to the executive committee as treasurer in November 2021.
Saavedra's profile explains the organization's mission is 'helping create safe spaces in schools for LGBTQIA+ students'.
Saavedra was approached for comment.
GLSEN also provides instructions for teachers on how they can make classes such as math and science 'more inclusive of trans and non-binary identities', including using 'they/them' pronouns in lesson plans.
Target lost more than $10billion in market capitalization in the span of 10 days following the backlash.
Prior to the controversy, Target shares were trading at $160.96, giving the retailer a market valuation of roughly $74.3billion.
By the time The New York Stock Exchange closed on Friday, the stock was trading at $138.93 - marking a market valuation of $64.2billion, and loss of $10.1billion.
The backlash to Target's Pride range comes amid an ongoing controversy around Bud Light's decision to use trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the beer.
Writing for DailyMail.com, a former executive at Anheuser-Busch, which owns Bud Light, explained how 'consumers have no idea that their money may be used as leverage by major financial institutions to influence popular American brands'.
In a statement last week, Target - led by CEO Brian Cornell - announced the company had pulled items that have 'been at the center of the most confrontational behavior.'
'Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,' the firm said in its statement.
'Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.'
The company did not specify which items had been taken off-shelves. As of Sunday, many of the swimsuits, onesies and t-shirts that sparked outrage remained available online.
