Our blue moon will no longer be standing alone. Jupiter, eat your heart out: Earth will be getting a second moon in the form of Asteroid 2024 PT5, which will start orbiting our planet later this month.

Here’s what to know about our new, temporary celestial neighbor. Earth has a large gravitational pull. So it’s not uncommon for objects flying through space to be attracted to it or get caught up in an orbit — at which point they earn status as miniature moons. The same happens with objects purposefully placed in space, such as satellites.

Earth is to get a new moon as an asteroid heading towards us will be trapped in orbit. From September 29, 33-foot-wide asteroid 2024 PT5 will orbit the Earth, staying with us until November 25. NASA spotted the asteroid using its Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on August 7.

An asteroid is approaching the Earth which the experts say will come close enough to be caught in our planet’s gravity well, technically becoming a second moon, at least for a few months. University of Iowa physics and astronomy Professor Casey DeRoo says this asteroid will be captured by the Earth’s gravitational pull around September
