It's pure Click Bait.

A Moon is an object that is captured by the gravitational forces of a planet. An asteroid that comes from beyond Earths orbit does a temporary flyby then returns to the depths of space...is not a moon.

Our Moon shining with reflecting light is easily visible more times than not, while 2024 PT5 is not visible with the naked eye or even a 12" telescope!

Our Moon is and has been in orbit for the past 4.53 Billion Years while 2024 PT5 is temporarily capture started at 3:54 p.m. EDT on September 29, 2024, and will end at 11:43 a.m. EDT on November 25, 2024.

Our Moon's radius is 1738.1 km. 2024 PT5 radius is 11 m.

Forget clicking all the hype, here is what our only Moon looks like:
