Summary

Description
English: The motion of J002E3, showing how the object was captured into its chaotic orbit around the Earth by passing near the L1 point, looping around the Earth for 6 orbits, and then leaving Earth's orbit. The Sun is to the left in these animations.
Čeština: Pohyb vesmírného objektu J002E3, který proletěl kolem libračního centra L1, minul šestkrát Zemi při následujících obletech a poté soustavu opustil. Původně byl považován za asteroid, avšak následně byl předběžně identifikován jako třetí stupeň Saturn-IVB. rakety Saturn V z projektu Apollo 12.
Français : Trajectoire de l'objet spatial J002E3, qui fut découvert en 2002 par un astronome amateur. Après un passage près du point L1, il a fait 6 fois le tour de la Terre, puis est reparti en juin 2003. Originellement suspecté d'être un astéroïde, des observations plus poussées révélèrent que l'objet était en fait le troisième étage de la fusée Saturn V de la mission Apollo 12.

Українська: Рух космічного об'єкта J002E3. Він проходив поблизу точки L1, робив 6 обертів навколо Землі, а потім віддалявся. Спочатку вважався астероїдом, але з тих пір він був умовно ідентифікований як третя ступінь S-IVB ракети Сатурн V місії Аполлон-12.

Assessment

Media of the day This file was selected as the media of the day for 6 November 2020. It was captioned as follows:
English: Motion of the space object J002E3. It was passing near the L1 point, looping around the Earth for 6 orbits, and then leaving. Initially thought to be an asteroid, it has since been tentatively identified as the S-IVB third stage of the Apollo 12 Saturn V rocket.
