October's full moon will have some company this month now that a mini-moon is in Earth's orbit. Here's what you should know about the second moon.

Earth's orbit will temporarily capture a mini moon — a tiny asteroid called Asteroid 2024 PT5. Local educators tell us whether we'll be able to see it and if we can watch it.

Scientists call such phenomena mini-moons. The asteroid was found by a group called ATLAS, which stands for Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, in August. The researchers who found it published a nonpeer-reviewed study about the asteroid.
