The 2016 BA14 was discovered just two months ago, in January of this year, and will skim by just 2.1 million miles away. The last time a comet came that close to us was in 1770. However, due to its small size, it will not be visible to the naked eye, but has already been spotted by online amateur observatory Slooh's cameras.
