Wow! Earth Just Captured a New Moon in its Orbit. Where Did it Come From? @TheSecretsoftheUniverse

The Secrets of the Universe | Wow! Earth Just Captured a New Moon in its Orbit. Where Did it Come From? @TheSecretsoftheUniverse | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Earth is about to capture a new mini-moon for 56 days. This mini-moon is asteroid 2024 PT5, a space rock measuring 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter. It likely originated in the Arjuna asteroid belt. It's much smaller than the large asteroids that usually make the news. However, its small size makes it more susceptible to being temporarily captured by Earth's gravity—giving it the chance to become a mini-moon.

$Game Changer! A Mysterious Galaxy That Emits No Light Has Been Found Astronomers have discovered a mysterious galaxy that emits no visible light. They have found the first dark galaxy in nature. Its a loner lying 94 million light-years away. Apart from a small fraction of stars, more than 90% of it is composed of dark matter. At first, the researchers thought it was a regular dwarf galaxy with very few stars. However, a detailed analysis of the galaxy revealed it’s an oddball that defies all expectations. Its properties challenge our understanding of extragalactic astronomy. Furthermore, this dark galaxy could solve one of the biggest astronomical mysteries, the missing satellite problem. But the intriguing question is that if it emits no visible light, then how did astronomers find it in the first place? How did they even conclude it’s a galaxy millions of light years away? Finally, and most importantly, what’s the missing satellite problem that has puzzled astronomers for decades? The 48th episode of the Sunday Discovery Series answers all these questions.
