Starting September 29, asteroid 2024 PT5 will temporarily become a “mini-moon,” entering Earth’s orbit for nearly two months before returning to the Arjuna asteroid belt. Discovered on August 7 via the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, this event marks a rare occurrence where space objects orbit Earth briefly. The asteroid will enter Earth’s orbit at 15:54 ET on Sunday and depart at 11:43 ET on November 25. At 37 feet wide, it won’t be visible without professional equipment.
