i found it today too, from following links from thechat -- is that weird or
what

seb's post about cloning had this link to the beeb

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1213387.stm

i got halfway down the column to the 'Frankenstein doctors' heading in bold
text, and decided that the beeb was no less sensational than other media

but lo, there to the right was a link to "Astronomy's next big thing," the
Owl (Overwhelmingly Large Telescope)

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2116605.stm

and to the right of that was the link "New 'moon' found around Earth"

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2251386.stm

and to the right of that was a link to crooeenya

  http://burtleburtle.net/bob/physics/cruithne.html

which has some sweet animations

as for the idea that the earth may have additional moons, i'm sure i heard
somewhere that there were particles of moderate size at the earth-moon L4
and L5 lagrangian points --
