A rare event is about to happen in space. Astronomers have said that the earth will see another new moon from September 29.

However, this new moon is an asteroid. The name of this planet is 2024 PTA. Its second moon will be visible from September 29 to November 25. But not with the naked eye, this second moon will be visible through a powerful telescope of at least 30 inches in diameter.

Astronomers have dubbed this new mini-moon a mini-Manu event.

According to a report published in the journal Research Notices of the American Astronomical Society, it will orbit the Earth from September 29 to November 25. Then it will travel again to another part of space.

Harvard researcher Federica said that this is a very interesting phenomenon. He also said: By observing this phenomenon, scientists can get a better understanding of similar space objects.

This is not the first time such a temporary moon has been seen before. The same thing happened only twice. This asteroid orbited the Earth for 9 months in 2006 and 2007. There is some disagreement about this, many believe that it actually orbited the Earth for 18 months.

The name of the other is 2020 CDO. Leaving Earth's orbit in March 2020.
