NASA announces temporary mini-Moon to orbit Earth from September 29 to November 25

cosmopolitan.com —

NASA has announced that Earth will have a temporary "mini-Moon," an asteroid named 2024 PT5, from September 29 to November 25. This asteroid, about 37 feet wide, will be captured by Earth's gravity before escaping. Astrologers suggest the mini-Moon may enhance the effects of the ongoing eclipse season, as it appears between a lunar eclipse on September 17 and a solar eclipse on October 2. However, its specific astrological significance remains unclear. Experts note that the mini-Moon's energy symbolizes balance and transformation. They emphasize the need for observation to understand its potential impact on astrology, as there is limited historical data on similar celestial events.
