Earth to Host Temporary Mini Moon Until November

Asteroid 2024 PT5 will orbit Earth for two months before returning to space, increasing lunar energy.

  • Asteroid 2024 PT5, also known as Mini Moon, will be captured by Earth's gravity from September 29 to November 25, 2024.
  • The asteroid, approximately the size of a truck, was discovered in August 2024 by the ATLAS project in South Africa.
  • 2024 PT5 is believed to originate from lunar material and belongs to the Arjuna group of asteroids that follow Earth-like orbits.
  • This temporary mini moon will enhance lunar energy, potentially intensifying emotional and astrological impacts.
  • Monitoring systems like ATLAS and upcoming observatories aim to predict and mitigate potential asteroid threats to Earth.
