Space shock: Mystery ‘alien object' orbiting Earth captured in stunning new Gemini photos

In the picture, the object can be seen glowing at the centre, with stars streaking across because the telescope was moving to track the object as it moved around the Earth.

The image was taken on February 24, immediately after 2020 CD3 was first spotted.

Astronomers hope to obtain more images of the object to learn more about it.

Space experts in particular wish to understand how bright 2020 CD3 is shining and how much light it reflects.
