After its extremely close fly-by last Dec., 2020 SO is safely coming very close again, this time to say farewell. As we know, it is the booster of the Surveyor 2 space mission, which was temporarily captured by our planet. Soon, this artificial mini-moon will leave our neighborhood, escaping into on a new orbit around the Sun. We will say it goodbye, live: join us from the comfort of your home!
