Bus-size asteroid being sucked toward Earth will become ‘temporary mini-moon’

  • An asteroid named 2024 PT5 will become a temporary mini-moon of Earth, circling for nearly two months from September 29 to November 25, as stated by Carlos de la Fuente Marcos.
  • The asteroid will not complete a full orbit but will follow a horseshoe path due to Earth's gravity, according to researchers.
  • The phenomenon will begin next week, with 2024 PT5 being influenced by Earth’s geocentric energy, likely creating a temporary lunar effect.
