Apart from the moon, geostationary satellites and low earth orbit (LEOs) paraphernalia, our Earth has a number of items orbiting.
One has no real background and has been puzzling scientists for a few days, another has been named Cruithne and is in somewhat in an eccentric orbit, owing to the effects of the moon on the object.
