Earth Second Moon Set To Disappear Return near 2055 nasa updates

Earth’s ‘second moon’ is now about to disappear! Yes, its temporary second moon has been revolving near the Earth for a long time. This is a small asteroid named Asteroid 2024 PT5. Just as the Moon is present close to our Earth and is revolving around it, similarly this rock is revolving around the Earth’s orbit. It came near the Earth on September 29 and now it is about to leave its orbit. After this it will return after about 3 decades. Let us know what NASA is saying about this?

Asteroid 2024 PT5 has been called the second moon of the Earth. This asteroid has been trapped in the Earth’s gravity for about two months and has been orbiting around it. Now it will leave Earth’s orbit on November 25. Metro’s Report According to it, it will return to Earth in 2055. It is very small in size and is only 33 feet in size. It is only 37 lakh kilometers away from the earth.

Such rocky pieces are also called asteroids. NASA discovered this asteroid for the first time on August 7. It was discovered by NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). This asteroid will exit Earth’s orbit on Monday, November 25. This asteroid is said to have first appeared near Earth in the 1960s as a mini moon.

NASA scientists also believe that this asteroid could be a piece of the moon. The interesting thing is that this earth will not complete even one revolution. Since Earth’s gravity is very powerful, there will be a slight change in its orbit and after that it will leave Earth’s orbit. Many asteroids even come within 45 lakh kilometers of the Earth. Similarly, when a small asteroid like 2024 PT5 comes close to the Earth at a slow speed (less than about 3540 kilometers per hour), its gravity binds it and it starts rotating around it.
