Does anybody know how close comet Lulin came to Mars? The JPL applet (http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2007+N3&orb=1) makes it look much closer than to Earth.

Thanks!

-September-23 Lulin approaches Mars

Better git yer big 'un's to see it! It'll be near 15th magnitude.

I just realized, you might be thinking how close will it APPROACH Mars.

Hmmm. Dunno. But it'll miss Mars by a couple a.u..
