asteroid 2024 pt5

  • Typically, asteroids — like the one depicted in this artist’s concept — originate from the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but a small population of near-Earth objects may also come from the Moon’s surface after being ejected into space by an impact.

    Newly found asteroid 2024 PT5 ejected from the Moon after high-energy impact

    ByRishav Kothari Saturday, January 25, 2025Saturday, January 25, 2025

    A rare lunar-origin asteroid, 2024 PT5, has been identified by astronomers, suggesting that high-energy impacts on the Moon may have ejected material into near-Earth space thousands of years ago.

  • Asteroid 2024 PT5 to become Earth's temporary new mini-Moon

    Asteroid 2024 PT5 to become Earth’s temporary new mini-moon on September 29

    ByHarsha Borah Sunday, September 15, 2024Sunday, September 15, 2024

    Earth’s gravity will trap a 10 m (23.8 feet) wide asteroid 2024 PT2 on September 29, 2024, keeping it in orbit for 56.6 days before returning it to its regular journey around the Sun on November 25, 2024.
