"...an asteroid [2024 PT5 ] roughly the length of a city bus will be captured by Earth’s gravitational pull and orbit our planet for about 2 months, becoming a “mini moon”... from 29 September until 25 November before returning to its home, an asteroid belt revolving around the sun"
"The asteroid was discovered on 7 August by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (Atlas), a Nasa-funded program"
