"Meet Zoozve: The Solar System's First Quasi-Moon"

The first quasi-moon in the Solar System, asteroid 2002 VE 68, has been officially renamed "Zoozve" after a mistake on a child's poster led to an investigation by Radiolab host Latif Nasser. The quasi-moon, which orbits the Sun and is influenced by the planets along its path, was initially discovered 20 years ago and has an unusual orbit that closely aligns with Venus. The International Astronomical Union officially renamed it Zoozve after the initial characters of its provisional designation were mistaken for letters, leading to an odd and memorable moniker.
