Earth is getting a 2nd Moon for 2 months
Earth will have a second 'tiny moon' for two months
It won't be there forever, but Earth will have a second moon when a small asteroid begins to orbit the planet later this month, space researchers have announced.
A second moon for the earth for two months, we tell you why!
The recently discovered asteroid 2024 PT5 will be captured by the Earth "s gravity for 56 days, until November 25, 2024. Invisible to the naked eye, but with the right equipment, this asteroid will not complete a full orbit around our planet before returning to its orbit around the Sun.
Lunar guest: Earth is getting a second Moon for two months
Scientists aren't sure if 2024 PT5 is an asteroid. At roughly 10 meters in length, 2024 PT5 is difficult to spot without a telescope. Yet a new study reveals that for the next two months, 2024 PT5 will join our Moon in orbit around our planet, which means Earth will (temporarily) have a second moon, from September 29 to November 25.
