has anyone else heard of the comet "Elenin"? it was discovered dec 10,2010 and the estimated size is 80,000 Km... and, apearently, it is going to be very close to us in october... here is a few sites that discribe it... here is the orbit diagram http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2010+X1&orb=1 http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2011/03/11/new-approach-of-a-comet-with-an-asteroid-elenin/ http://www.elenin.org/ this sites says it maybe the suns companion star, a brown drawf, since there are some bodies that rotate around it... You have the size wrong. It is too small to be significant and it is going to miss us by 22 million miles. maybe, they are learning more and more about it every day, as it gets closer.. i have read from a couple of different websites that it could be as small as a mile, with a dust cloud around it at 80,000 km. but what gets me is that there is something in orbit around it, at the most 3 different bodies... |

JPL says it could be three miles in diameter. I ran it through the calculator at 15 miles/sec and got a 15 mile crater with a blast energy of over one million megatons. If it hit the center of the US it would break out windows on both coasts. |
