Wait, the distance between the sun and earth is est 149,000,000miles.
According to her diagram, the comet, when it approaches in March will be far greater than that.
Again, that's just looking at her diagram.
So she's saying it will have a gravitational effect from that distance?
Which could very well be more than 300,000,000 miles away?
That's just hard to believe...
Either way, if it's that close why haven't we been able to get great pictures of it yet?
Too many questions and not enough answers.
Good find though.

One candidate would be the newly discovered Comet
2010 X1 Elenin, which comes very close to our planet in the Fall of 2011. The comet will be so bright you can see it with the unaided eye even in a small city.

For a reference
Halley's comet in 1986 was 0.586 AU from Earth on passing. 87 664 428 kilometres
