Second moon

Towards the end of this month we will get a new (temporary) moon to orbit pur planet. The asteroid 2024 PT5 will be trapped momentarily to earth's gravitational field and do one rotation around our planet before returning back to the Arjuna asteroid belt where it originated.

The rotation will take just a bit less than two months, but unfortunately suring that time we won't be able to enjoy an unusual spectacular stellar view. The asteroid is only a few meters across and not visible to the naked eye. Not even for the most expensive telescopes a normal person can buy.

These events aren't actually that uncommon. There has been a couple of similar events recorded ober past decades. It has most probably happened a lot more times in the past, but our ability to detect such things have only just improved enough that we can actually "see" them. There might be even more of those small rocks visiting us every now and then. Just too small to detect even with the modern technology.
