Kurt: Here is a link to a java applet for this comet's orbit. It's on the asteroid side of the wall within JPL and they seem to have better tools over their than on the comet side of the wall. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db?sstr=2006a1
As for meteor activity, I should think that the high inclination will keep any debris well away from earth orbit, even though the perihelion distance is inside the orbit of Venus. DT
Thanks Daniel, that's what I was looking for. Clearly the track moves within Venus's orbit and does not intersect Earth's track. The orrey view really matches up with night sky - the comet is currently crossing the ecliptic, Venus, the comet and the Sun are in the same order as seen on the celestial sphere. - Kurt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
