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 ...

The asteroid, known as 2024 PT5, was first spotted Aug. 7 by astronomers using the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS. Measuring about 33 feet in diameter ...

The small near-Earth asteroid 2024 PT5 has been creating a buzz among researchers. Discovered last year with the help of a NASA-funded telescope, it is only about 33 feet across and does not pose any ...

Asteroid 2024 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 ...

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Asteroid 2024 PT5, a near-Earth object discovered last year, has captivated scientists with its potential lunar origins. Likely ejected into space after a massive impact on ...

NASA suggests asteroid 2024 PT5 might be a fragment of lunar rock Observations show a composition matching Moon samples, not asteroids Rare lunar-origin asteroids offer new insights for space ...

The latest study suggests that the asteroids could be part of our moon. Earth gravity captured the 33 feet (10 meters) wide near earth object called '2024 PT5' in September 2024. The asteroid is not a ...

NASA is currently monitoring asteroid 2024 PT5, which is passing by Earth this month at a safe distance. Discovered in August 2024, the 33-foot-wide object has followed a path similar to Earth’s, ...

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.

Unlike other common asteroids, 2024 PT5 has an orbit close to Earth, and it therefore possibly could be brought from Earth itself or from the Moon. It was not gravitationally captured by Earth but ...
