Physical characterization of Earth's #QuasiSatellite 2025 PN7: arxiv.org/abs/2610.17981 -> "Our results indicate that 2025~PN7 exhibits a near-solar, flat visual spectrum, most consistent with the B-type in the Bus-DeMeo taxonomy. Our results therefore still support an asteroid-belt origin for most of Earth's QSs. The lunar-ejecta hypothesis can only be formally rejected with a larger sample of spectroscopically characterized QSs."
