Mini Moon

The Earth will embrace a new and temporary 'mini moon' tonight, with a connection to India's epic Mahabharat. Called "2024 PT5" it is just about ten meters in diameter and it will remain in the Earth's orbit for about 53 days.

The asteroid, named 2024 PT5, originates from the Arjuna asteroid belt, which contains rocks with orbits similar to Earth's.

Mini-moons have been spotted before, and many more are likely to have gone unnoticed.

The temporary mini-moon of Earth, which will orbit our planet for 53 days, will not be visible to the naked eye, confirmed Dr AK Anil Kumar, head of ISRO's Network for Space Objects Tracking and Analysis (NETRA).

Earth's moon will soon have a temporary junior companion, an apparent mini moon revolving around our planet for about two months. In a rare event, an asteroid will be captured by Earth's gravity and will orbit the earth from Sept 29 to Nov 25.

The Japanese apparel brand said certain Shein bags "closely resemble" Uniqlo's cross-body bag which has been a huge hit online.

With its first flyby of the asteroid Dinkinesh, Lucy discovered it is not one single asteroid, but a system of two, with a small 220m-wide satellite spinning around it.

On its way to the space rocks Trojans, NASA's Lucy probe observed its smallest asteroid target named Polymele, which was expected to pass in front of a star. As the asteroid passed, it blocked the star briefly allowing astronomers to observe the star blink along with another object. Located some 200km from Polymele, astronomers think that is likely...

NASA blasted a nanosatellite barely bigger than a microwave oven into outer space Tuesday, part of a landmark mission to return humans to the Moon.

The mini biosphere - which operated for over 212 hours - was shut down as planned on Saturday, said Chongqing University, which designed the experiment.

NASA scientists have spotted the longest extra-terrestrial river system ever on Saturn's moon Titan and it appears to be a miniature version of Earth's Nile river.
