45P was discovered in December 1948, has a periode of 5.26 years and has passed the sun 13 times since it was discovered.
Something happened? Mag 10 earthquakes? Asteroid impacts? Did I miss something?
It will pass Earth at a comfortable 12.5 million kilometers on February 11, 2017.
In October 2011 it was even closer at 9 million kilometers. Any disasters in October 2011? Did I miss something again?
Oh, and according to BPEarthClown it is a "large comet".
I don't know BPE's definition of "large", but with a diameter of about 1 km it is one of the smallest known comets.
And no, given that there will no major outbreak, it will not be naked eye visible on new years eve - at mag 7 it will be a nice object for binos and small telescopes but not for the naked eye, even not at very dark places. It will be a little brigther around February 11, 2017 but at mag 6.3 still not a naked eye object.
