Some people out here in un-astronomy land are saying that it will make its closest pass ever, with all sorts of terrifying results on earth. I have also heard that it will be on the far side of the solar system, and not even visible to the naked eye. If you think this is too elementary for the newsgroup, mail responses rather than posting. Thanks. Scott
