C/2006 X1 LINEAR
more info
Comet C/2006 X1 was discovered nine months after perihelion passage and next observed 66 days (0.18 yr) in a narrow range of heliocentric distances from 6.43 au to 6.58 au.
Comet had its closest approaches to the Earth on 6 September 2005 (5.553 au. 7 months before perihelion passage) and on 12 October 2006 (5.535 au, two months before discovery).
This comet suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; however, they could lead to escape of the comet from the solar system on hiperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbit).
