what you see is comet elenin position live. right under the image ,where DATE is you have to click to the right arrow to move the date (right bottom on image) to march 15.
I see you were linking to the Orbit Viewer. Are you still able to view it. B/c its not allowing me to. I know I have _javascript enabled. Is anyone else able to see that diagram?
Here's a screen shot of March 15th

More than simply the size and mass of the object; the speed of the object would, in my opinion, have a great effect on it's gravitational field. I'm not positive, my knowledge of astrophysics is extremely elementary, but to me it makes sense. A train travelling at high velocities have the potential to pull things towards them. Though since space is supposedly a vacuum, I really can't say with any authority, it may completely change the equation. I would think that the make-up of the comet would also be a major factor, like if it is essentially iron or some other highly magnetic element. Just some ideas.

I'm sorry but Looking at that clearly shows that the distance from Earth and Comet Elinin is greater than it is from Earth and the Moon, which causes no problems.
Just so you know, 0.24 Au is 100 times farther than the Moon. Which is roughly 23 885 700 miles, yes miles.
The computer model used by Gross and his colleagues to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches (8 cm or 27 milliarcseconds
, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 microseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. One microsecond is one-millionth of a second long.
