A story you may have seen recently claims an asteroid spotted this month by an astronomer turned out to be a Tesla in space.
Believe it or not, this one's true.
In 2018, Elon Musk and SpaceX launched a Tesla Roadster into space as the payload for the maiden flight of the Falcon Heavy rocket.
The car was equipped with cameras to provide stunning views of Earth and a mannequin behind the wheel.
That vehicle was recently spotted by an amateur astronomer and the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, MA even designated it as a near-Earth asteroid.
But after realizing what it actually was, the Center removed the item from its records.
