524522 Zoozve (/ ˈ z uː z v eɪ / ⓘ; provisional designation 2002 VE 68) is a sub-kilometer sized asteroid and temporary quasi-satellite of Venus. [5] Discovered in 2002, it was the first such object to be discovered around a major planet in the Solar System .
A quasi-satellite is an object in a specific type of co-orbital configuration (1:1 orbital resonance) with a planet (or dwarf planet) where the object stays close to that planet over many orbital periods. A quasi-satellite's orbit around the Sun takes the same time as the planet's, but has a different eccentricity (usually greater), as shown in ...
Venus also has a quasi-satellite, 524522 Zoozve. This asteroid is also a Mercury- and Earth-crosser ; it seems to have been a "companion" to Venus for the last 7,000 years or so only, and is destined to be ejected from this orbital arrangement about 500 years from now.

2023 FW 13 is an asteroid that was spotted on March 28, 2023, from the Pan-STARRS telescope at Hawaii, United States. It circles the sun in sync with Earth in such a way that it appears to orbit Earth, but well outside Earth's Hill sphere, making it a quasi-satellite.
Kamoʻoalewa orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.90–1.10 AU.Although the period as of 2022 is about 366 days, its longer-term average period is closer to 365 days. 469219 Kamoʻoalewa is a quasi-moon and not gravitationally bound to earth like a true satellite.
