Originally found by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope on Haleakala, Maui, on the night of June 5-6, it was confirmed to be a comet by UH astronomer Richard Wainscoat and graduate student Marco Micheli the following night using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea.

A preliminary orbit computed by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., shows that the comet will come within about 30 million miles of the sun in early 2013, about the same distance as Mercury. The comet will pose no danger to Earth.
Wainscoat said, "The comet has an orbit that is close to parabolic, meaning that this may be the first time it will ever come close to the sun, and that it may never return."
The comet is now about 700 million miles from the sun, placing it beyond the orbit of Jupiter. It is currently too faint to be seen without a telescope with a sensitive electronic detector.
The comet is expected to be brightest in February or March 2013, when it makes its closest approach to the sun. At that time, the comet is expected to be visible low in the western sky after sunset, but the bright twilight sky may make it difficult to view.
Over the next few months, astronomers will continue to study the comet, which will allow better predictions of how bright it will eventually get.
Comet C/2011 L4 was discovered on June 5th, the anniversary of the Carolina Asteroid impact into western Atlantic Ocean, the one seen by Maya Indians that became the basis of their calendar, and sank "Atlantis", as described in the book Rock Prophecy. It also happens to be the copyright day (June 5) for the Rock Prophecy book.
Significance is that the current fad about "2012" being the END of the Mayan calendar, portending some disaster or whatever, that fad was instigated by Paul Allen's "DreamWorks Team" at the DreamWorks movie studios, who were ordered, after the copyright of Rock Prophecy, to "Co-Opt Topics" from that book and re-work the issues into dominator-friendly media projects, thus the "2012" fad was foisted onto the public through mogul media to focus, not on the START of Maya calendar, as explained in Rock Prophecy, but on the END of the calendar, to Co Opt the whole "asteroid disaster" issues away from its Hendrix origins. Likewise the DreamWorks Team lifted the Jimi Hendrix prediction, "asteroid disaster" concept of Rock Prophecy (Paul Allen is a Hendrix devotee, spent $250 mil on Seattle's "Hendrix Museum") and turned that idea into his DreamWorks "Deep Impact" movie, starring, not Hendrix, but Hendrix-impersonator Morgan Freeman (Freeman's career started out with his well documented impersonations of Jimi). DreamWorks Team was saying, "If Rock Prophecy, our enemy target, is claiming Hendrix as Asteroid Prophet, we'll portray our Hendrix imitator (Morgan Freeman) as Asteroid President Savior who ushers us to survival, as opposed to Rock Prophecy disaster. They thus set the stage for an African American President who changes NASA's mandate to ASTEROIDS - and DreamWorks funded frontman Obama's candidacy, to play the role of Asteroid President to a public subliminally associating black president Obama/Morgan Freeman/Hendrix/Asteroid Savior. Thus Obama's first State Dinner was loaded with DreamWorks officials. An entire DreamWorks Division of psychological social engineers "plays" the public like a fiddle of subliminal opinion "implants" - DreamWorks = Inception (dreams) Implants on mass scale.
The DreamWorks Team "Co-Opted Topics" lifted from Rock Prophecy, the list includes dozens of high profile media blockbusters, all of which are being re-claimed at the rockprophecy.com website. Just a few examples are: Wikileaks Manning Entrapment Scam, DaVinci Code book, Obama's law to ban the word "retarded" (i.e. "Retarded History" from the 1995 Rock Prophecy book)... so many more Topics Co-Opted by that whole Division at DreamWorks dedicated to keeping the Hendrix connection concealed while re-defining issues from that condemned gnostic book...
Comet C/2011 L4 is one more in an intensely dense debris field galactic cloud enshrouding our solar system, as Jimi saw coming. He tried to warn, and was removed. The book that explains remains censored and suppressed. Dozens of resent "earthquakes" "tsunamis" "gas pipe blasts" and "sink holes" are really rock impacts reported as otherwise by mogul media mandated to sedate the slave treadmills while trillions of "siphoned" public funds from digitally rigged "markets" are diverted to build subterranean cites for unjust moneyed "rich."
