CNEOS predicts that the NEO 2014 QL433 will make a close approach on 2023-Aug-04 10:05±<00:01 UT at a distance of 0.03575 AU with V Relative=20.62 km/sec, H=19.9 magnitude, diameter 280 m - 630 m, 'Rarity'=1. The Condition Code=0 with a 2217 day observation arc. The Earth MOID=0.00961677 AU. This medium sized NEO has a well determined orbit. Currently it's not on the MPC's list of Potentially Hazardous Objects.
Using MPC's elements for 2023 Jul 30 0000 UT, ST4v predicts that this NEO will reach a maximum brightness of 15.1 magnitude on 2023 Aug 6 0400 EDT (0800 UT) with the MP 0.04 AU distant traveling through Cetus at 35"/minute. The close approach (to the nearest hour) is predicted to occur on 2023 Aug 4 0600 EDT (1000 UT) when the NEO is predicted to be 15.8 magnitude moving through Eridanus at 48"/minute in twilight in Columbus, Ohio.. This MP is near the celestial equator so it should be visible from both the northern & southern hemispheres, weather permitting.
