Earth to capture a ‘second moon’ this weekend, NASA says
Earth will capture a miniature, “second moon” this week, according to NASA scientists. The new moon is actually a tiny asteroid dubbed 2024 PT5. It will start orbiting the planet in a horseshoe path and stick around for a little less than two months before escaping Earth’s gravitational pull and going back to its regular orbit around the sun.
