Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 2493097 United Kingdom 10/02/2011 04:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thought if was to pass in front of the sun, someone would have taken a picture of it. Quoting: 4tunat1 Where are the pics? Not a single one from pros or amateurs. Not one at all and not one mention from anyone on why it hasn't been photographed yet. Something stinks. How do we KNOW when it lines up with the sun etc. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1560844 United States 10/02/2011 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Unless you have an infrared camera, you cannot see Elenin with the naked eye. There is speculation that some folks will be able to see it, but not until this month, October... "Comet Elenin will get to approximately 0.23AU (~35-million miles) from Earth in October 2011, and if we are very lucky could be just about bright enough for naked-eye viewing in good twilight conditions." source of excerpt- [link to sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil] good luck with your gazing! .:. |

The exact opposite is true , Because it broke into smaller pieces its coma faded, now the brightness of the sun makes it harder to see at the moment . |
