CNEOS predicts that the NEO 2010 XC15 will make a close approach on 2022-Dec-27 18:15 ± < 00:01 UT at a distance of 0.00516 AU. H=21.4 magnitude, V relative =10.10 km/sec, 'Rarity'=3, Condition Code=1. This is a decent sized rock, 140m-310m.
The close approach is quite a ways off, but since it's a 'Rarity'=3 event I thought that it deserved an early warning. I haven't done any calculations in ST4v yet.
Clear skies,
