Exploring Zoozve a Coser Look at Venus's Quasi-Moon:

She's 230 meters across and follows Venus around the Sun.

2.5 football fields, that'd make a nice base.

Better ask the Venusians.

Don't ask me, I don't want to ask the Venusians for anything.

There is an interesting podcast on RadioLab about how Zoozve got it's name.

It's hardly a nice base if everything has to be tied down! Could be useful for minerals or water I guess.

That its solar orbit goes further out than Earth's and further in than Mercury's could I suppose make it useful for heavy freight. You could crash land the freight rather than matching orbits, but matching Venus's orbit would still be expensive. It might be useful between Earth and Mercury.

Let me guess. A now-defunct bottler of activated water made a generous donation?

I enjoyed both episodes. I was getting ready to post the same thing.

Nope, it's more fun than that.

I do a lot of driving for work so the Radiolab podcasts are a weekly thing for me.

No, someone changed 2002-VE to zoozve or mistook it and then they looked it up 2002-VE and then asked the discoverer what they wanted to name it and they said Zoozve.

Pretty idiotic hey, for a moon of Venus, sounds like a lowing cattle, much like our Moo-oon.

I commute and have some work time when I'm doing some repetitive processing tasks which are conducive to listening to podcasts and audiobooks. Radiolab is one of my go to podcasts. I was sorry to see Jad and Robert move on to other things, but the current hosts are keeping up the good work, IMO.
