"Twin" Comets Headed for close approaches to Earth Record-Breaking Comet Flyby March 2016 

March turns out to be the month of great celestial events in 2016.

On March 21 the comet 252P/LINEAR 12 will make its closest approach yet, passing just 3.1 million miles (5.3 million km)

Comet P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) is set to pass by Earth at a distance of 2.1 million miles (3.5 million km).
This is a record-breaking approach to Earth for a comet!!!
Comet's P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) passage will be the closest known comet flyby of the last 230 hundred years. Comet P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) was discovered by the Pan-STARRS survey 
on 2016 Jan 22.

In 1983 comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock made the closest approach to Earth at 2.9 million miles (4.7 million km) of any comet in 200 years.
