A guest meteorite that orbits the Earth for two months. Space is weird.

This meteorite is one of those things that happen in astronomy. Astronomers usually report that a meteorite is heading toward Earth and continue to research whether it will hit Earth or pass by.

Maybe a meteor will fall in our area, which is a little scary for us who are listening. There is a fear that the scientists who have studied the meteorite will report that it has passed the earth.

This is the information we get through continuous astronomical research but the surprising thing is that a meteorite comes to the earth from time to time. As this meteorite approaches the Earth, it is attracted by the Earth's gravity and starts orbiting the Earth in the same way that the moon orbits the Earth, i.e. Newton's law states that every object in the universe has a gravitational force with every other object.

According to that law, just as the Earth revolves around the Sun with a gravitational pull, and the Moon revolves around the Earth, if another object comes in the elliptical region of the Earth's gravitational pull, it will revolve around the Earth.

One question we may have is whether it will stay around the Earth forever since its gravity is very low, it will move away from the Earth as soon as its gravity decreases, so why is it coming and going? That's why we can say that it is a meteorite that comes to Earth successively.

They named this asteroid 2024 PT₅. It is said to belong to the Arjuna family of near-Earth meteorites. The meteorite, which is about 11 meters in diameter, was discovered in South Africa on August 7.

The meteorite will enter Earth's orbit on September 29, 2024, and will orbit the Earth from that date until November 25, 2024. Its gravitational force is not a permanent gravitational force, only the moon has a permanent gravitational force, the gravitational force of these stars is a temporary gravitational force, so it moves away from the Earth only for a short period.

 The meteorite will come closest to Earth again on January 9, 2025. This year and next year, this meteor has already passed very close to Earth on February 11, 2003, making it one of the most frequent asteroids.

Since its size is very small, we cannot see this meteorite with the naked eye, as we see the moon during its orbit around the Earth.
