For the last 6 weeks, Earth has been joined by a new "mini-moon" asteroid that has been temporarily orbiting near our planet. It departs again on November 25th, but not before astronomers turned some of the world's largest telescopes toward it. According to a new paper, 2024 PT5 is basaltic, similar to volcanic rocks, and matches the composition of Sv-type asteroids or lunar material. It spins once in less than an hour and has had many close encounters with Earth.
