CNEOS predicts that the newly discovered NEO, 2023 OU, will make a close approach on 2023-Jul-22 23:42±<00:01 UT at a distance of 0.00449 AU with V Relative=6.06 km/sec, H=26.1 magnitude, diameter 16 m - 36 m and 'Rarity'=1. The Condition Code=5 with a 12 day observation arc. The Earth MOID = 0.00427008 AU. The first reported observation was by ATLAS South Africa, Sutherland on 2023-07-18, but the observation arc was extendeded with additional observations by Mt. Lemmon Survey on 2023 Jul 8.
Using MPC's elements for 2023 Jul 21 0000 UT, ST4v predicts that this NEO will reach a maximum brightness of 16.2 magnitude on 2023 Jul 22 0400 EDT with the MP in Pavo below the horizon in Columbus, Ohio. This is a southern hemisphere object.
