Nasa Eclipses And The Moon S Orbit Earth is going to have a second moon for two brief months, as a small asteroid piece will be incorporated into the planet's orbit before heading back into outer space Experts often monitor objects "It has the landscape; it looks like the Moon And it has the scale of features astronauts will both be observing and exploring," NASA's Cindy Evans said NASA said Thursday its Space Communication and Navigation program is taking the lead on an effort to establish a Coordinated Lunar Time standard as humans prepare to return to the moon A temporary “mini-moon” will whirl around Earth for about two months as our planet’s gravity captures a small asteroid in its orbit 2024 PT₅ will then swing past for a final goodbye on 9 January 2025, coming within 18 million kilometers (11 million miles) of Earth before heading back out into the inky blackness NASA's Europa Clipper probe will lift off and embark on a long-awaited mission to study Jupiter's icy moon Europa, which scientists think is one of the most promising places to look for life beyond
