In Babylonian Astronomy Nibiru refers to Jupiter, which is 778,547,200 km away from the sun at it's (semi-major axis) average distance. At any given time the Earth and Jupiter can be a various distances from each other depending on how far from the sun they are and at what alignment to each other they are: Earth's Aphelion distance plus Jupiter's Aphelion distance at opposition (152,097,701 + 816,520,800 ) is 968,618,501 km. Earth's Aphelion distance minus Jupiter's Perihelion distance at conjunction (152,097,701 - 740,573,600) is 588,475,899 km. An endless number of alignments and distances are possible but these are the farthest and closest possible distances.
the last time it erupted was this year some time
The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so there is a point at which we are nearest to the sun, and a point at which we are farthest from it. The point in the orbit at which we are nearest the sun is called "perihelion". The earth passes that point at some time during the first few days in January. In 2011, it happened on January 3. The point in the orbit at which we are farthest from the sun is called "aphelion". We pass it at some time during the first few days of July.
Earth never passed through Halley's Comet. It has been seen from Earth on many occasions. This happens about every 75 or 76 years. The last time was in 1986 and the next time it is expected to be seen from Earth will be in 2061.Earth never passed through Halley's Comet. It has been seen from Earth on many occasions.

A very long time.
Well the date it was the last time was acually March,22,1470
On June 23, 2009, the Earth had not yet reached its furthest distance from the Sun. The exact date and time for aphelion varies from year to year, but generally occurs within a couple of days of July 5; for 2009, aphelion is July 4 at about 2AM Universal Time. There is no fundamental inherent connection between the solstice (which has to do with the Earth's rotation only) and aphelion (which has to do with the Earth's orbit about the Sun only).
Currently, the apapsis (or aphelion) is in July.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphelion
The Earth reaches aphelion, the farthest point in its orbit around the Sun, about July 3rd each year. (That date varies a day or so either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.) Here in 2011, aphelion is on July 4th at about 3PM GMT. The US Naval Observatory's "Earth's Seasons" web site (at the link below) lists the precise time of the solstices and equinoxes, and has the perihelion and aphelion down to the hour.
January 3, 2010 was the date of the "most recent" perihelion. Hopefully, not the "last" one.
The aphelionis the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is farthest from the Sun. The Earth reaches its aphelion when the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing summer. The point in orbit where a planet or comet is nearest to the sun is called the perihelion. The word aphelionderives from the Greekwords, apomeaning away, off, apart and Helios(the Greek god of the sun). Earth's aphelion usually occurs sometime around July 4.
At its closest, Earth is about 796 million miles away from Saturn-------------------------------------That is when Saturn and Earth are both on the same side of the Sun and Saturn is at perihelion and Earth is at aphelion. Obviously this happens very rarely and most of the time Saturn and Earth are separated by much more distance with the maximum distance occurring when Saturn and Earth are at opposite sides of the Sun and both at aphelion.
I think the most recent was actually January 4, 2001 at 5am eastern standard time.
There is no official date yet but my guess is around the same time next year as it did this year.

The last time was last February. But I am not sure o f the date.
