A newly discovered asteroid, also referred to as a mini-moon or second moon, is set to enter Earth's orbit temporarily this fall.

A rare mini-moon, a small asteroid temporarily captured by Earth's gravity, will briefly orbit the planet for two months. This 33-foot-long object, while billions of years old, was only recently discovered.

The asteroid is expected to make a “horseshoe path” around Earth over the next two months, researchers wrote in a recent study. After it completes its mini-moon episode, it will stick around Earth’s neighborhood until January. After that, it will not return until 2055.
