[quote:Anonymous Coward 1520602:MV8xNjE0MzQ4XzI2NjY0NzQwXzI5NDE3M0I1] [quote:El Astronauta:MV8xNjE0MzQ4XzI2NjY0NzE0XzUzNUI0M0U5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1522696:MV8xNjE0MzQ4XzI2NjY0NjA2X0E1OEM3OUIz] If it survives perihelion, and passing the ecliptic, It could balloon to the size of the sun, that is the coma at least. [/quote] if it survives perihelion and disintegrates the remnants will be on the straight path in our direction. Am I right? http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=elenin;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=0#orb [/quote] :bsflag: [/quote]
Original Message
,,8h magnitude - in process of disintegrating. Will not survive perihelion.
Low western evening sky."
,,Observations from August 20 indicate that comet Elenin underwent a dramatic fade.
The comet is in the process of disintegrating on its way towards perihelion
and thus will no longer become potentially observable with the unaided eye."
,,C/2010 X1 Elenin
2011 Aug 27.37UT
Left: 10x10second exposures. Right 15x10 second exposures with galaxy NGC 4348.
C11 SCT and Starlight Express MX7c CCD imager.
Comet appears to be in the process of disintegration."
