Earth is about to welcome a new mini-moon for a short period. Starting from September 29 until November 25, a small asteroid named 2024 PT5 will temporarily be captured by Earth's gravity, according to researchers Carlos de la Fuente Marcos and Raúl de la Fuente Marcos from Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The asteroid, approximately 10 meters wide, was discovered through the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System. Researchers found that its size, speed, and trajectory are suitable for it to be caught by Earth's gravitational field for 53 days. During this time, it will orbit Earth before resuming its path through the solar system. «2024 PT5 will circle the Earth one time before it escapes back into space,» the researchers stated in their paper. This event is known as a «temporarily captured flyby,» where an asteroid enters Earth's gravity but does not make multiple orbits.

Earth will soon capture a temporary mini-moon, asteroid 2024 PT5, which was discovered on August 7, 2024, by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). Measuring about 10 meters in diameter, 2024 PT5 is set to loop around Earth from September 29 to November 25, 2024. During this period, it will follow a horseshoe-shaped trajectory but will not complete a full orbit around Earth before continuing its path around the Sun.

Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Group Chairman, Inditrade Capital, says Larsen &Toubro is a fantastic story with a strong tailwind behind it, whether it is construction, infra, domestic, or international including hydrocarbon, it has got a long way to go. So, correction is a buying opportunity. The other share is Reliance. If there is further correction, it is worth looking at. From a long-term investor's point of view, Reliance with correction is a good buy. Would you say that Friday’s fall seems more global? Sudip Bandyopadhyay: Well, definitely it is global.

rains are sometimes called moga pavs in Goa. Literally this means “rains of love”, but my farmer friend explained an additional agricultural connection: “It is a very soothing and calm rain for plants and even humans.” June-July rains have damaging intensity, but these later showers embrace the plants. With moist soil and spells of bright sun, it is the perfect time to plant vegetable and fruit seeds. Rice for the kharif crop is planted earlier, since it flourishes in flooded fields, but now the shoots are vivid green, a reminder that this is a growing season. The festivals in this season celebrate growth. Rishi Panchami, which is today, is marked in Western India with a dish made of seasonal leaves and vegetables like those the sages might have foraged from jungles. Onam has its carpet made with freshly plucked flower petals and leaves. Ganesh Chaturthi in Goa has the matoli tradition — where a canopy of seasonal fruits and leaves, many gathered from the wild, is suspended over the Ganesh idol.

«Mutual fund figures for I think the last month are still to come out, but they should be healthy. So, there are flows into mutual funds, PMS, AIF, etc. So, I think that keeps the market buoyant. On the other hand, we are also seeing huge supply these days, like on a daily basis now we see offer for sales, QIPs, etc. In fact, I think in last many days, daily average would be more than Rs 7,000-8,000 crores,» says Sandip Sabharwal, asksandipsabharwal.com.

One, the foreign investor selling seems to have suddenly died out and although they are not buying in big numbers, but still they are small positive numbers and domestic liquidity, as all of us know, continues to remain strong.
