Victor,
Since you can contact Brian, could you perhaps inquire as to what the
closest distance between Hale-Bopp's orbit and the earth's orbit is? I
don't really know where to get that information yet. I know the closest
approach between the objects was 1.3 AU, but I am curious about the minimum
orbital distance.

That would be welcome as well.
Wayne, kepping it to 2 cents worth this time.
