This week see many special celestial sights, from a bright comet and a solar eclipse to a bright Venus and the possibility of aurora. There's even a new "mini" moon.

Skywatchers will have a chance to see yet another naked-eye comet this year, and you won't have to wait very long for it at all.

Earth will capture a miniature, "second moon" this week, according to NASA scientists. The new moon is actually a tiny asteroid dubbed 2024 PT5. It will start orbiting the planet in a horseshoe path and stick around for a little less than two months before escaping Earth's gravitational pull and going back to its regular orbit around the sun.
