Occasionally, asteroids get caught in Earth’s orbit, temporarily becoming mini moons before continuing their cosmic paths.

Earth has temporarily gained a second moon, an asteroid named 2024 PT5, which was captured in its orbit on September 29, 2024. This "mini-moon," measuring around 37 feet in width, will orbit the ...
