2024 Pt5 Orbit. In just over one week’s time, earth will gain a new celestial companion that will stay for two months in the planet’s gravitational cradle. Asteroid (neo) 2024 pt5 is currently in the constellation of ursa minor.
The asteroid, dubbed 2024 pt5, is 33 feet long — roughly equivalent to a standard school bus. The space rock does not pose a threat to earth, and it is not expected to stick around for long.
