NASA researchers have postulated that when the Earth was hit by a large object about 4.5 billion years ago, it probably created many small moons around Earth, plus our large Moon. Many of them landed at stable points between the Earth and the Sun. They still should, theoretically, be here, but aren't. Where did they go? And why?
