Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, study lead author, stated, 'There are multiple lines of evidence suggesting that this asteroid may have a lunar origin.' This highlights the link between Asteroid 2024 PT5 and the moon.
'Current research favors its rapid rotation with a rotational period under one hour, to be expected if 2024 PT5 is either a large boulder from the surface of the moon or a fragment from a larger object,' explains Carlos de la Fuente Marcos.
