It will soon make its closest approach to any planet , which is Mars. The Sun will be in the way so we won't be able to see that. However Nasa is going to use a telescope already in orbit around Mars to take a look.

We should be able to observe its encounter with Jupiter (next March-April?). If it’s near the same plane as the Jovian orbit, it should be interesting to see any change in trajectory, but with the velocity of its own hyperbolic orbit it would seem unlikely to be “captured”.
Then again, maybe it could be like the “2010” movie (which I loved)?
