CNEOS predicts that the newly discovered NEO 2024 ER4 will make a close approach on 2024-Mar-17 09:14±<00:01 UT at a distance of 0.00108 AU moving with V Relative=8.30 km/sec, H=27.4 magnitude, diameter 8.9 m - 20 m and 'Rarity'=1. There is a 2 day observation arc, theCondition Code=5 and the Earth MOID=0.000625347 AU. The solution date is 2024-Mar-16 06:12:02 PDT. The initial reported observation was by ATLAS South Africa, Sutherland on 2024-03-14.
This NEO was not included in today's download of the NEAs at Today's Epoch from the MPC, so I couldn't calculate the ephemeris. The MPC does have elements for the Epoch 2024 Mar 31, but they're after the close approach, so less useful.
