Hey, I'm Latif Nasser, this is Radio Lab.

But about a year and a half ago, his nose for a good science story took him on a wild side quest.

And yeah, it didn't end up turning into a really cool episode of Radio Lab.

But Lativ also found himself playing an active part in the scientific process.

For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman.

And today we're talking about the time Latif accidentally helped name a quasi-moon and how you, yes, you, can name a quasi-moon of your very own.

We're thrilled to have the man himself here today to tell us more.

I would love to hear a little bit about how you got interested in quasi moons or quasi moons, depending on who you ask.

It started totally by accident. I was putting my kid to bed one night in his crib, and we had bought for him online this like solar system poster.

And I was looking at the solar system poster, sort of out of the corner of my eye as I was putting him in his crib and I saw like that Venus had a moon and I was like that's weird like I never learned that in school that Venus had a moon I was like am I crazy and then I looked it up I just googled on my phone, Does Venus have a mood?

And then the first result was from NASA,

and it was like, Venus does not have a mood.

And I was like, oh, I'm crazy?

Like, what is going on here?

And then also, then I went back in and I looked at it again

the next morning, and it had a name name and the name was Z-O-O-Z-V-E-Z-V-E-Z-V-E. And then I googled that. There was nothing in English,

which like, how many times do you Google something and there's nothing in English? Yeah, pretty much never.
