I had to Google it myself. Zoozve is an Eiffel Tower sized rock or meteor caught in Venus' gravity and is currently in it's orbit. Interesting. Thanks for the share.
No, Venus does not have a natural moon, but it does have a quasi-satellite called Zoozve. In 2002, astronomer Brian Skiff discovered Zoozve, which was originally called 2002VE68. On February 5, 2024, it was officially named Zoozve after scientists Seppo Mikkola and Paul Wiegert wrote a book about it.

So you mistake 2's for Zed's, and then you find out it is a cataloqued Space Object, and then find out it circles both the Sun and Venus, but not really, it is an asteroid. What kind of Poster's do these people put in their kid's bedrooms? LOL Learned a lot though.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - a lot of things I’m learning. I’m actually re-learning because I forgotten. Or things have changed so much there’s no longer nine planets. And there were only four known galaxies when I built my first telescope. Times are a changing.
