The Earth Is Getting a Mini-Moon—but Only for About a Month
On August 7, 2024, NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) detected a space object that, for a little more than a month, will become a mini-moon of Earth. Named 2024 PT5, the rock is only 33 meters long and will form a kind of horseshoe-like orbit around Earth from September 29 to November 5 before leaving Earth’s orbit.
