The Earth Is Getting a Mini-Moon
For 57 days this fall, Earth will have a second moon
The asteroid is expected to make a “horseshoe path” around Earth over the next two months. For the next two months, an unusual object about the size of a bus will be orbiting above our heads. Say hello to Earth’s temporary new moon.
Earth Is Temporarily Getting a Second Moon
Starting next week, the moon, Earth’s closest celestial body, will be joined by a new neighbor: a second moon. From Sept. 29 until Nov. 25, astronomers calculate that 2024 PT5— which is what scientists think is an asteroid but have dubbed a “mini-moon”—will be looping around Earth.
Earth gains a second ‘mini-moon’, but not forever
A tiny asteroid named 2024 PT5 will start orbiting the earth on Sept. 29, 2024. According to Space.com, this newest moon will only stick around for about two months. The Universidad Complutense de Madrid has been monitoring the asteroid and has found that the tiny asteroid comes from the Arjuna asteroid belt.
