If you want to worry about it, that's fine. But this comet is going to miss us by 37 million miles (or more), which is about 150 time further from earth than the moon, so I will not lose an instant of sleep over this one.

Your calculations are a little off based on the info provided in post #12 (from Chinapost.com) (14.5 times Earth to moon average)

Come out to approximately 3.46 million miles.

I'm not worried because it wouldn't do any good. Just trying to figure why the powers that be decided to rape us at this point in time.

Maybe it's all coincidence. who knows?

Seems like even reporters in China are screwy. Your info based on .4 AU, was correct. Sorry
