Earth's transient mini-moon 2026 QQ8 to exit orbit by December

Earth's newly discovered temporary mini-moon, asteroid 2026 QQ8, is set to leave our planet's gravitational orbit by December. First captured by Earth's gravity in April, the asteroid will spend roughly nine months circling the planet. Astronomers confirm there is no risk of impact as the celestial body makes its closest approach at a safe distance of 568,000 kilometers.
