Contrary to what you may intuit, the Earth's gravity isn't uniform, and there's one place where it's much weaker than anyone expected.

An asteroid called 2020 CD3 was bound to Earth for several years before leaving the planet’s orbit in 2020 and another called 2022 NX1 became a mini-moon of Earth in 1981 and 2022 and will return ...
