Earth has caught a 'second moon'
SMRTR summary
Earth is set to capture a temporary "mini-moon" - asteroid 2024 PT5 - from September 29 to November 25. The 37-foot wide asteroid, part of the Arjuna belt, will briefly orbit Earth before returning to its solar orbit, an event too small for amateur stargazers to observe but potentially visible to professional astronomers.
