A “ second moon ” will pass by Earth , but not for so long.According to a study published by the American Astronomical Society, the asteroid 2024 PT5 will orbit the planet from September 29 to November 25 before returning to the asteroid belt.Scientists discovered the space object on August 7 through an Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System in Sutherland, South Africa.
“Sometimes, these temporary captures do not complete one revolution before dropping out of orbit and returning to their regular heliocentric trajectories.”After completing a mini-moon episode, the study said that 2024 PT5 will leave the vicinity of Earth by early 2025 until its next return in 2055.But this “second moon” will not be visible to the naked eye as it is just 10 meters wide."The object is too small and dim for typical amateur telescopes and binoculars.
