Wow. That's not how I was envisioning it at all.
I was just reading at Space.com how this asteroid was a moon to Earth in 572 AD, and will be again in 2575 AD.

Geez. Based in that graphic, they should name the comet Russian Roulette.

Thanks, this helps a lot, I was having trouble visualizing what's going on here. Pretty wild!

How can such an odd projected path be 100%. Are there not factors that could throw it off?
