Asteroid to orbit Earth
Asteroid to enter Earth's orbit temporarily: What to know about 'mini-moon'
Asteroid will come close enough to Earth to temporarily enter its orbit at the end of the month, a phenomenon dubbed as "mini-moon," according to astronomers.
Earth will get a second "mini-moon" for 2 months this year
The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months.
Earth Is Temporarily Getting a Second ‘Moon’
Sadly, at just about 10 meters, the mini-moon will be extremely hard to see from Earth, but its presence will be there nonetheless for almost two months. The asteroid, which was discovered on Aug. 7 by NASA, originated from the Arjuna asteroid belt, where it will likely return once it leaves Earth’s orbit.
