The spacecraft NASA deliberately ... moonlet is one of the smallest astronomical objects to receive a permanent name and is one of 27,500 known near-Earth asteroids of all sizes tracked by NASA.

NASA has tracked more than 35,000 asteroids whose paths approach Earth’s orbit. Earthlings have been cataloguing asteroids since the 1800s, but most were discovered in recent years.
