A 33-foot asteroid named 2024 PT5 is expected to briefly orbit the Earth between September 29 and November 25.

Earth is saying goodbye to an asteroid that has been a "mini-moon" of sorts since late September, when it joined the planet's orbit.

The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months.

Earth’s Mini-Moon Was Probably a Piece of Its Real Moon Scientists think a small rock discovered near Earth last August was hurled into space by an ancient impact on the lunar surface.

Our new mini-moon is approximately 10 meters in diameter and will be captured by Earth's gravity for 57 days. It's small and faint, so it won't be visible by the eye or with small telescopes, but ...

Earth will get its very own ‘mini-moon’ which will remain in orbit for two months later this year.

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 ...

New research suggests that Earth's recent mini-moon might have originated as part of our actual moon long, long ago.

For the last few months Earth has had a "second moon," albeit a much more diminutive one than our main lunar companion. Unlike the moon, this "mini-moon" was never expected to stick around.

A mini moon that will bid farewell to Earth soon may in fact be a small hunk of the big moon — the one that has loomed far longer in the sky than humans have roamed the planet. A follow-up study ...

Dubbed the 2024 PT5, the 'mini-moon' will orbit Earth for nearly two months. It comes in a season of lunar phenomena.

It sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie. For the past couple of weeks, Earth's orbit has been home to a "mini-moon" the size of a city bus. The celestial object is more than just a ...
