time to watch the night sky moon .

looks legit to me

whats your opinions?
If it is not atmospheric aberration or camera lens "magic" or alien ship, it may be group of asteroid rocks from either 3600 year Oort cloud rocks or group of Apollo Asteroid belt rocks ( Giant comet disintegration). May be they are going and coming back from different world around moon.

I am guessing these are some rocks ( from some asteroid belt) locked in moons orbit flipping between different worlds. Recently Earth got a new rock as a moon temporarily from what is called Arjuna Asteroid belt. Whoever gave the name 'Arjuna' to the asteroid belt had evoked some interesting similarities. As per C's Arjuna is fictional character from Mahabharata, which is related to Younger Dryas cometary impact which is related to Giant comet remnants.

Arjuna Asteroid Belt New Moon​

The Arjuna asteroid belt is a secondary asteroid belt located in the solar system, containing space rocks with orbits similar to Earth’s average distance from the sun (about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers). Recently, a small asteroid named 2024 PT5 from this belt is expected to become a temporary “mini-moon” for nearly two months, from September 29 to November 25, 2024.

Characteristics of the Mini-Moon​

  • The asteroid, 2024 PT5, will be caught by Earth’s gravitational field, temporarily orbiting our planet.
  • Due to its small size and lack of brightness, it won’t be visible to the naked eye or even with binoculars or home telescopes. Professional equipment is needed to capture images of the mini-moon.
  • According to Dr. Jennifer Millard, host of the Awesome Astronomy podcast, professional telescopes will capture images of the mini-moon, allowing people to see “wonderful pictures online of this little dot speeding past the stars.”

Orbital Pattern​

  • The mini-moon will orbit Earth for approximately 57 days before gradually escaping the planet’s gravitational pull.
  • There is no explosive or dramatic event causing it to leave; it simply has too much energy to remain in Earth’s orbit for an extended period.
  • Scientists predict that 2024 PT5 will re-enter Earth’s orbit in 2055.

Precedent​

  • This is not the first time Earth has had a mini-moon. In 2020, another mini-moon called 2020 CD3 orbited the Earth for more than a year.

Arjuna Asteroid Belt​

  • The Arjuna asteroid belt is a group of space rocks that revolve around the sun, with orbits similar to Earth’s.
  • The belt is home to many small asteroids, including 2024 PT5, which will temporarily become Earth’s mini-moon.
In summary, the Arjuna asteroid belt’s 2024 PT5 asteroid will become a temporary “mini-moon” for nearly two months, orbiting Earth before returning to its home belt. While not visible to the naked eye, professional telescopes will capture images of this small asteroid as it speeds past our planet.

There are many secondary asteroid belts running around in the solar system and it is hypothesized by ( Clube et. all) and there are some big rocks ( of few km's) in it and not as big as moon though. Is it what we are seeing?
