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.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I wonder what condition it is in…
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.
