ELENIN SIZE ---------HUGE

probably...i dont know this ...sorry frind

Yep, I've never believed the small numbers everyone keeps coming up with, always had a feeling this is alot bigger than people are making it to be, thanks for the post OP.

i like your vid :)

Thank you. Not to worry we will all be guided to where we are meant to be but out of curiosity,

How big are you saying this is?

How long is the tail?

Do you know how close it will come to Earth?

Do you know when we should be able to see it in our skies?

I also read it has a strong magnetic pull so the tail will have allot of junk that could also hit Earth. What are your thoughts on this?

WHAT IS ASTROSHILL ??

WHAT IS ASTROSHILL ??

Anyone know what the Moon's distance from the Earth is in AU?

There's a few amateur astronomers on this forum, who spew out astronomical calculations that confuse most everyone on here.

I'm not really sure why they hang out here, instead of an actual astronomy forum.

Maybe they don't like to be challenged and enjoy the feeling of superiority they get from enlightening the unwashed masses.

BTW JPL now has it's close approach at 0.232AU on Oct 17

its 10km in diameter.

If it is 10 km in diameter, then it is 6.2 miles. Bunker down!

If it is 10 km in diameter, then it is 6.2 miles. Bunker down!

if it was 10 km wide, I think we will see a good show, but I think isnt 10 km wide ....

It is not going to hit us, it will just pass VERY CLOSE to us. We will pass through it's tail in late-Oct/early-Nov which will result in tens of thousands of small, medium, and large asteroids and debris to fall upon the earth as flaming bombs, destroying anything and everything in their paths. Very similar to what you see in the beginning of the movie 'Armageddon' when the meteors rain down upon the cities, except we will have tens of thousands of these things coming down on us instead of just a few. The devastation will be enormous.

When this happens we will see a world-shift-paradigm as they call it. Millions will make a call to return to 'godly principles' because God has apparently began to pour out His judgments upon the earth. The constitution of the US will be repudiated or amended and one of the new laws will be a national day of rest known in Bible prophecy as the Sunday-Law. This law however, will be in direct violation to God's principles of keeping the seventh-day holy as a day of rest, so through its passing the people will only further separate themselves from God. As a result, things will only get worse.

Be ready. It's coming. Get your heart right with God.

ok hi all


i made some counts

d=diameter of object
L=distance earth-object
ç= angular diameter in degrees

d=2L(tan (ç/2))
[link to spaceobs.org]

ç=2 arcsec = 0,00055555 degree [link to www.convertunits.com]
L (on 3 january 03.40 am 2011 ) 545 000 000 km
d=(545 000 000) (tan 0,00055555) we must be accurate more possible as we can !!!

d=5284 km O.o

is impossible to se an object large 10 km from 700 000 000 km with a 18 " mirror

is veeeeeeeeeery larger

So OP...it's huge... But the question should be now is.. what is it's mass and composition.. I remember that recent comet I forget the name and it was bigger than the sun, but that was because it their was so much vapor.. thoughts?

Answer: 5284 km = 3283.325 mi.
