Three-hundred and thirty years ago to the day, Giovanni Cassini discovered Iapetus, one of Saturn's moons. Three-hundred and thirty years to the day later, Comet P/2001 T3 (NEAT), Asteroid 2001 RM and Asteroid 11405 (1999 CV3) are all at their closest approaches to Earth. Relax ... the nearest of the three is still 82,727,622 kilometres away. More spoddy fun at JPL's Space Calendar.
