New research suggests that Earth's recent mini-moon might have originated as part of our actual moon long, long ago.
Earth’s recent ‘mini-moon’ may be an actual piece of the moon, astronomers say
An asteroid that orbited near Earth for a few months as a mini-moon may be a chunk of the moon that was blasted off by an impact thousands of years ago.
Earth's recent mini-moon seems to be a lost fragment of our real Moon
The small near-Earth asteroid 2024 PT5 has been creating a buzz among researchers. Discovered last year with the help of a NASA-funded telescope, it is only about 33 feet across and does not pose any threat to Earth.

Study finds that Earth's small asteroid visitor is likely a chunk of moon rock
A near-Earth object was likely ejected into space after an impact thousands of years ago. Now it could contribute new insights to asteroid and lunar science.
NASA: Near-Earth Asteroid Likely Came from the Moon
Last year, astronomers on the hunt for potentially dangerous near-Earth asteroids spotted something unusual. A space rock, now dubbed 2024 PT5 made several close passes by Earth, not quite orbiting our planet,
