In August 2024, the ATLAS telescope in South Africa discovered asteroid 2024 PT5, a ten-meter-wide space rock roughly the size of a school bus, according to Phys.org. Following its discovery, the ...

PT5 traced to lunar highlands; Apollo 14 rocks match Research reveals natural origin; trajectory rules out space debris Insights boost detection of near-Earth objects with lunar origins ...

The celestial near-Earth object, known as 2024 PT5, measures about 33 feet (10 meters) wide; however, it’s not in any danger of colliding with Earth now or over the next few decades due to its ...

By Becky Ferreira For a few months last fall, a school-bus-size space rock named 2024 PT5 gained fame as Earth’s new “mini-moon.” Astronomers rushed to study the object while it was still ...

Asteroid 2024 PT5, discovered near Earth in 2024 ... Analysis from NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies confirmed it is a natural object, not human-made debris,... The space visitor ...

With this, scientists from NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) considered how 2024 PT5 responded to solar radiation. Unlike most artificial debris that tends to float aimlessly ...

A new study of 2024 PT5 suggests it's no coincidence this asteroid is hanging around in our celestial neighborhood. This object appears to be a piece of the Moon, which was broken off in a ...

A small near-Earth object captured the world's attention last year after a NASA-funded telescope discovered it lingering close to our planet. The object never orbited Earth but it stayed close for ...

The object is known as Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2024 PT5 (or PT5, for short) and its orbit is very similar to Earth's. Oddly enough, that region often gets littered with rocket bodies.

A near-Earth object was likely ejected into space after an impact thousands of years ago. Now it could contribute new insights to asteroid and lunar science. The small near-Earth object 2024 PT5 ...
