Earth Will Have a Temporary 'Mini Moon'
Earth to capture a 'second moon' this weekend, NASA says
Earth will capture a miniature, "second moon" this week, according to NASA scientists. The new moon is actually a tiny asteroid dubbed 2024 PT5. It will start orbiting the planet in a horseshoe path and stick around for a little less than two months before escaping Earth's gravitational pull and going back to its regular orbit around the sun.
Earth will have a temporary 'mini moon' for two months
The mini moon is actually an asteroid about the size of a school bus at 33 feet (10 meters). When it whizzes by Earth on Sunday, it will be temporarily trapped by our planet's gravity and orbit the globe — but only for about two months.
