Caution! Earth to Capture a New Moon for 53 Days: Meet Asteroid 2024 PT5

"Earth is getting a new mini-moon! Asteroid 2024 PT5, a 10-meter rock, will be captured by Earth’s gravity for about 53 days starting in late September 2024. This rare event gives scientists a unique opportunity to study a near-Earth object up close and refine our asteroid detection systems. Learn why this mini-moon is important, what it means for our planet, and how it fits into the bigger picture of space exploration and planetary defense."
