Asteroid to orbit Earth
Earth to get a new ‘mini-moon’ for 2 months
An asteroid, pulled into Earth’s orbit, is sometimes known as a ‘mini-moon.’ You’ll need a telescope to view it.
Earth Is Temporarily Getting a Second ‘Moon’
Sadly, at just about 10 meters, the mini-moon will be extremely hard to see from Earth, but its presence will be there nonetheless for almost two months. The asteroid, which was discovered on Aug. 7 by NASA, originated from the Arjuna asteroid belt, where it will likely return once it leaves Earth’s orbit.
Earth's new 'mini-moon' will orbit our planet for the next 2 months
The mini-moon, an asteroid called 2024 PT5, was spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on Aug. 7. The space rock will make one complete orbit of our planet between Sept. 29 and Nov. 25 before escaping Earth's gravity.
