Experts from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) carried out two investigations in which they discovered that a small asteroid will orbit the Earth temporarily starting this month.
The study, published in the journal Research Notes of the AAS, reports that last month scientists analyzed a small asteroid that will circle our planet in 53 days from late September to mid-November.
The authors of the study point out that it is likely that the celestial body comes from the Arjuna asteroid belt, formed by numerous asteroids with orbits around the Sun similar to that of the Earth, according to a press release from the RT agency.
