Earth to Get Temporary 'Mini-Moon' as Asteroid Enters Orbit

The moon will soon have a companion in Earth's orbit for a limited time.

An Arjuna asteroid will become a "mini-moon" event for nearly two months starting Sept. 29, according to a study published in the journal Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society. The tiny asteroid, which researchers named "2024 PT5," will temporarily orbit Earth before returning to an asteroid belt revolving around the sun.

Scientists discovered the object Aug. 7 using the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System in Sutherland, South Africa during routine monitoring, according to the study.

Some people are worried and some people like games finally we got the second moon before GTA 6. So what do you think about this Mini Moon?
