Original Note:
The object in question, 2021 PH₂₇, is an asteroid. This means that Mercury is still the closest planet to the sun. It is also in a highly elliptical orbit, meaning it spends most of its time farther from the sun than Mercury. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_PH27 It is also not the first object of its kind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_LF6
