2007 TU24 already resolved by radar: it's double
Since two days ago the Goldstone radar is seeing the NEO, helping to refine its orbit (no Earth impact possible for hundreds of years) and vaguely resolving it into two objects.

There is also a JPL Release on the radar observations.
Details for observers can be found in a Sky & Telescope article.
Arecibo is also preparing radar observations.
