Earth has acquired a visitor, "2024 PT5" currently on orbit for a short stay... [View all]
According to recent astronomical observations, Earth has temporarily captured a small asteroid named "2024 PT5" which is essentially acting as a "mini-moon" or a second moon, although it won't be visible to the naked eye and will only orbit Earth for a limited time before escaping back into space.
The asteroid 2024 PT5 is relatively tiny, likely the size of a school bus, making it too small to see without a powerful telescope

Personally, I think it's an automated survey vessel, just updating the Galactic database. The despoiling of our biosphere will probably just be a footnote in the filed summary.
Inventing the warp drive is probably our only chance at surviving as a species, because we really need some help. Soon.
