NASA Earth is set to have a second moon for the next several decades, according to NASA. The tiny satellite, named 2025 PN7, is expected to orbit our planet until 2083. Scientists believe it is a small asteroid that became captured by Earth’s gravity.
While invisible to the naked eye, the mini-moon is being closely monitored using advanced telescopes and radar equipment. Researchers say studying 2025 PN7 could provide unique insights into asteroid behavior, orbital dynamics, and even potential future space missions.
NASA reassures the public that 2025 PN7 poses no risk to Earth. Its discovery highlights the dynamic nature of our planet’s space environment and offers astronomers a rare chance to observe a temporary natural satellite in action.
