Two Moons September 29 2024

Two Moons September 29 2024. In just over one week’s time, earth will gain a new celestial companion that will stay for two months in the planet’s gravitational cradle. The regular moon’s new, temporary friend is 2024 pt₅, an asteroid captured.

In a spectacular cosmic event, earth is about to get a second moon this fall. Earth will have two moons this month, temporarily making our home planet feel a little more like mars.
