What the researchers found was the comet made its previous closest approach to the Sun around 3.5 million years ago, coming in at a distance of 18 AU (1 AU = the distance between Earth and the Sun - 93 million miles.) Additionally, the researchers were able to predict when the comet will make its closest approach to Earth, and according to the results, Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein will approach the Sun in 2031.

However, Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein will only come as close to Earth as Saturn's orbit, meaning it poses no threat at all to Earth.

At the moment the comet is located 1.8 billion miles away near Uranus, and when it makes its closest approach it should be visible for large amateur telescopes.
