Re: >>>> Elenin is HUGE - last data !!
thats not a comet thats planet.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1294792


A pretty big one too!
 Quoting: BadMoonRising


That's extremely typical for a comet.

"Comets can typically display a coma several thousand kilometers in diameter, with the size being dependent on the comet's distance from the sun and the size of the nucleus."
[link to cometography.com]

"The nuclear regions [note, they're talking about the physical nucleus, not the apparent nucleus] is perhaps only 10-50 kilometers across, but can produce a 'coma' larger than the diameter of the Sun. The above telescopic view of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1999 shows a coma size that is equal to the diameter of the Sun!"
[link to www.astronomycafe.net]

It's still an extremely dim object because the cometary coma is extremely low in density compared to a planet's atmosphere. There isn't much mass for light to reflect off of. If the outgassing increases or if the comet gets closer then earth will receive more reflected light from the comet and it will reach a naked eye magnitude. Elenin should reach that magnitude largely thanks to the latter.

I don't have a link, but, I had read somewhere that the moon is a little over 200,000 miles from us and Elenin will me around 40,000 miles from us when it is at its closest proximity.

Does anyone have any more information on this.

Wait October 1811??

The same year as the massive New Madrid quake in December of 1811

Now here we are 200 years later with a big comet approaching and another massive quake i Japan....

Is there a direct link between comets and earthquakes??

Re: >>>> Elenin is HUGE - last data !!
NO.

It says:

Diam. coma +/- 0.18' soit pour 2.94UA +/- 27938 km


Translation:

Coma diameter is about 0.18 arcseconds of angle, at a distance of 2.94 AU, plus or minus 27938 kms.

Let's do some math:

1 AU = 149,597,870.7 km

Source: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

So, 2.94 AU = 439,817,740 KM

+/- 27,938 kms means:

It could be as close as: 439 789 802

It could be as far away as: 439 845 678

This is a margin of error of 0.000549056745, or 1/20th of one percent.

Let's run those three distances through this calculator:

[link to www.1728.com]


Enter angle in seconds (0.18)

And these three distances:

Near: 439,789,802
Midpoint: 439,817,740
Far: 439,845,678


Yields the following diameters:

High estimate: 383.79 km
Mid estimate: 383.81 km
Low estimate: 383.84 km

So the error contained in the distance measurement only changes the calculated diameter of the COMA by 1km.

Thus, it all depends on the angular measurement, and yes, we do have machines on this planet that can measure a fraction of a second of an angle.

Note also this is the size of the COMA fer fexxsakes.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 836250


Okay,...so like 280 something miles.

That is different than 30 miles.

Which is it?

***edit***

Oh,...Nevermind, I do not think anyone really knows. I think it is all conjecture. Thanks for the math btw.

 Quoting: zacksavage


Doesn't matter. It's roughly 280 miles, which is a small coma. The coma is not the nucleus. The coma could easily expand to thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter as it approaches the sun.

Elenin will come within 67,319,100 km or 0.45a.u. That's a little less than half the distance to the sun not the moon

I do not understand why they would not give the mass of the object.

So,... the coma is a plasma/gaseous light reflecting/refracting kind of thing that gives a large visual appearance from the earth do to our sun???

They must know the mass of the object itself right Astro?
