Orbit of comet C/2011 L4 within the solar system. The movements during the selected calendar month are drawn as thick lines, the positions of the planets and the comet for the selected day are marked with circles. Arrows point to the planets not shown on the chart; "v.e. points towards the vernal equinox. The knot line of the comet is shows as well. Orbit data: i - inclination, the angle among the ecliptic and the orbit plane; e - a measure for the shape of the orbit (0: circular; <1: elliptic; 1: parabolic; >1: hyperbolic); q: perihel distance in mean earth-sun distances. For the 3D effect, as color goggles, red on the left, cyan on the right.
