Asteroid 2024 PT5 is part of the Arjuna asteroid belt, a group of space rocks that follow orbits similar to Earth ’s, about 93 million miles from the sun.
The temporary capture started at 3:54 p.m. EDT on September 29, 2024 , and will end on November 25, 2024 .
The tiny asteroid is believed to be just 37 feet wide, making our moon 300 times larger than this tiny asteroid.
As 2024 PT5 continues its journey, we’ll keep our eyes — and telescopes — on the skies.
Perhaps future technology will allow us to study these fleeting visitors more closely.
Maybe one day , we'll even send missions to them to gather samples or test new spacecraft.
While it's here, let ’s appreciate the wonders of our ever-changing universe.
