Asteroid flyby yields startling discovery

The asteroid that flew close to Earth Monday didn't come alone.

NASA images released Monday reveal the asteroid, officially known as 2004 BL86, has its own small moon. The grainy, black and white photos show the asteroid, about a third of a mile in size, spinning through space, with its 230-foot-wide moon trailing behind.
