Comet Honda...Look at how close it is on the JPL

Incoming !!

Isn't comet Levy supposed to make a pass around the same time?

P/2006 T1 Levy is expected to pass 0.198AU from Earth on 2012 January 22.5. That is over three times further away from our planet than 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova will be on 2011 August 15.3.

Interestingly, I reckon that there is a high probability that P/2006 T1 Levy is identical with C/1743 C1 (a comet that has not been seen for over two and a half centuries). Hopefully, data from the 2012 apparition will help to confirm that suggestion.

thanks 4 the heads up

On Aug.22 we have asteroid 2009 AV also. With the sun flaring up, it is something to pay attention to, with 3 comets and I believe 4 asteroids within a short period of each other & crossing in and out of our orbit.

where do i go to get more info . on ? do we have access of simulation ?
