Scientists aren't panicking yet, but they are watching closely

Starting September 29, Earth will welcome a new celestial neighbour: a 'mini-moon' named 2024 PT5. This small asteroid, roughly 10 meters (32 feet) in diameter, is expected to loop around our planet until November 25 before breaking free from its gravitational embrace.

The Earth gets a small companion. NASA scientists discover a small asteroid in an orbit around the Sun that keeps it as a constant companion of Earth and it will remain so for centuries to come.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai now has an asteroid named after her, the Malala Fund announced Wednesday, reports mashable.com.
