2022 RM₄ is categorized as a potentially hazardous asteroid because it is around 400 meters in diameter^[3]^[a] and makes close approaches to Earth. It was discovered on 12 September 2022 when it was 0.61 AU (91 million km) from Earth and located at declination +65 near the northern circumpolar star Zeta Draconis.^[1]

At 1 November 2022 18:26 UT it passed 0.01536 AU (2,298,000 km; 5.98 LD) from Earth.^[2] As of 1 November 2022 the uncertainty in the close approach distance was ±77 km.^[5] The asteroid should have brighten to about apparent magnitude 14.3 which is roughly the brightness of Pluto and was around 75 degrees from the Sun.^[6] It may have been viewable by experienced amateur observers with a telescope that has an aperture of around 8-inches or better.^[7]

2022-11-01 18:26 ± 00:01	0.01536 AU (2.298 million km)^[2]	±77 km^[8]

By 2 November 2022 the asteroid was better placed for the southern hemisphere with a declination of –32.^[6] Goldstone Solar System Radar using the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex 70–meter Deep Space Station 43 and Australia Telescope Compact Array observed the asteroid on 2 November 2022.^[9] It then came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 3 November 2022.^[2]
