New Mini Moon to be Captured by Earth
At the end of September a small asteroid will be Captured in Earths gravitational field and become a Mini-moon. It won't hang around for long, maybe 53 days.
Should be exciting. Details here:

Hi Glen,
Probably not so interesting for amateur astronomers other than academic interest.
A 10 metre asteroid far enough away only for a temporary capture?
Intuitively, that's probably going to be a good bit fainter than mag 20.
I note they didn't mention any projected brightness.
cheers
Joe

Temporary satellitte looks like the correct term here, not mini-moon.
