These objects are too faint to detect visually, but 4 newly discovered NEOs will make close approaches today & tomorrow. The minimum distances range from 0.00364 AU for 2022 KK to 0.00644 for 2022 KX. The NEOs 2022 KY (0.00541 AU) and 2022 KZ (0.00620 AU) are the other two.
The times for close approach range from May 24 18:21 UT to May 25 19:59 UT.
It's unfortunate none of these are bright enough to be visible.
We missed the close approach of 2022 KG1 which was discovered after its pass on May 22. ST4v predicted a peak brightness of 14.6 magnitude with the best views in Australia & New Zealand. This was a screamer - >20"/sec at 73.7k km.
At least it didn't hit us.
