The object initially labeled #C43XT81 has now been designated #2024XA: ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_l....
Its close approach today has now been measured to have been 7726 ± 2 km from Earth's center of mass.
On follow-up; #C43XT81 was confirmed to _ not _ be an impactor.
It passed by about 1400 km above the ground.
For asteroid astronomers:
A new small potential impactor, #C43XT81, was just announced - cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/#/obje...
If it impacts, that will be in 3.5 - 4.5 hours from this writing.
I assume that follow-up is already happening?
