When NASA's Lucy probe flew by the small-ish (0.5m max diameter) asteroid Dinkinesh on November 1st, it found Dinkinesh has its own tiny moon: a 0.15 mile-across asteroid in a close orbit around it. More in NASA's article. (Wikipedia says "Dinkinesh is the smallest main-belt asteroid explored by spacecraft yet.")
