Summary
- Earth will have a new neighbor in the form of an asteroid, which will become a mini-moon orbiting our planet for two months.
- The mini-moon is part of the Arjuna asteroid belt and was discovered using the ATLAS system on August 7.
- It won’t be visible to the naked eye due to its small size and dimness.
- While it won’t fully orbit Earth like a true mini-moon, this temporary visitor is expected to swing back by in future years.
