The Earth is to have a second 'mini-moon' set to orbit our planet for about two months this autumn which is an asteroid that will be visible by telescope when it drops into orbit

Though the mini-moon will only be in Earth’s orbit for about two months, it’ll stay close to the planet for a few months, making its closest approach in January 2025, after which it’s expected to make a return to the planet’s orbit in 2055, according to the study.
