Apollo 10’s “Snoopy” Lunar Module ascent stage was abandoned into solar orbit and lost. Now, some astronomers are looking to find it again. This would be a fairly impressive achievement if they succeed.

  1. I wonder what condition it is in…

  2. This may sound stupid, but if it is orbiting the sun wouldn’t it eventually burn up because of the heat
    anyway?….maybe not.

    • We’re orbiting the sun and aren’t catching on fire.

      I’d imagine the orbital radius for the object in question is probably roughly the same as the Earths.
