On September 29, 2024, the Earth will have a “second Moon” for two months, marking a truly out-of-this-world phenomenon!
It’s an asteroid named 2024 PT5, which NASA discovered on August 7, 2024.
It originated from the Arjuna asteroid belt, where it will likely return once it leaves the planet’s orbit on November 25, 2024.
Many outlets call it a “second Moon” because it will orbit the Earth. However, the asteroid is only 33 feet or 10 meters wide, making it difficult to see with the naked eye.
