Earth gets a new mini moon for two months
A space rock is about to become Earth’s new ‘mini-moon’
A temporary “mini-moon” will whirl around Earth for about two months as our planet’s gravity captures a small asteroid in its orbit.
Earth will soon have a ‘second moon’ — at least for a little while
Earth will soon have two moons, but not for long. According to a study published in the journal Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), the “moon” in question is a celestial body known as 2024 PT 5 that is believed to be an Arjuna asteroid.
Earth is about to get a new mini-moon
(CNN) — Earth is about to gain a new “mini-moon,” but it won’t stay around for long. The newly discovered asteroid, named 2024 PT5, will temporarily be captured by Earth’s gravity and orbit our world from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25, according to astronomers. Then, the space rock will return to a heliocentric orbit, which is an orbit around the sun.
