Comet ELEnin !

[badcompany]

Comet ELENIN was discovered late last year and is due to come near earth later this year.

- Comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) was discovered during routine survey of the sky on Dec. 10, 2010. The work was conducted at the independent Russian remote observatory ISON-NM, which operates on Asteroid Program of the Russian project ISON (International Scientific Optical Network, formerly - PulKON, "Pulkovo cooperation of optical observers").

there is nothing about it's size yet. *tin foil hat on* I wonder why that is? Do they know and are not telling us? *tin foil hat off*

I though all comets had elliptical orbits? That being the reason you only see them now and again.

Among the observable hyperbolic and parabolic comets (those that come from the Oort cloud) this one has the smallest perihelion distance and the smallest inclination to the ecliptic plane.

What the hell is 3,600 year? And how does 38,000 years even resemble that? :|

its got a 3 and a 0 in it and is dividable 10.5555556 times

A few facts about the comet day its nearest, how near and how fast is travelling.

All joking aside it should be a good watch, I can remember seeing Hale-Bopp I was working nights at the time and it was pretty impressive stuff.

Urrmmm, that's a load of numbers and stuff nobody understands mate. Still B.S will never happen.

its an orbit diagram click on the >> to watch the comets orbit.

How difficult is that?

Its a WIKI post stating comets name and who found it and when it passes.

Its really not that hard to comprehend is it?

Right now, odds are that Comet Elenin will become an easy target for binoculars around mid-August and reach naked-eye visibility for a couple of weeks around perihelion. The comet's elongation from the Sun shrinks to just 1° following perihelion, but soon thereafter the comet gets enough separate to position itself nicely for viewing in the predawn sky.


Amateur astronomer (and comet discoverer) Leonid Elenin lives near Moscow and is an accomplished optician who likes to observe asteroids and variable stars.

Moreover, it's traveling very near the ecliptic plane, and as it sweeps close to the Sun its sky location won't stray far from the ecliptic until mid-September, when the path arcs slowly northwestward through Leo. That's a plus for skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere.

Finally, because Comet Elenin passes between the Sun and Earth, there's a chance its dust tail might "light up" (via forward-scattered light) due to the large Sun-comet-Earth angle and put on a really good show

WHAT

It was a joke ! Trying to lure the nibiru freaks into thread

Never mind
