Quoting: Anonymous Coward 954858The moon is at a quarter million miles, so it ain't really taht close is it? .15 au would be closer to 14 million miles...pretty close when dealing with space. Projections will certainly change over time. No one knows for certain what will happen. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1236751 United States01/20/2011 01:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For those concerned about a comet passing Earth at 14 million miles, in March 1996 Comet Hyakutake reached its closest point to Earth at a mere 9 million miles. We survived. Of course, the next question is how big is Comet Elenin? The answer may tell us how spectacular a show it may put on. |

Its the rock moving at 50% of the speed of light that will get us, we would never even know it was incoming, be it the size of Ceres.. 800KM in diameter, we still would not even know it was coming our way. |

Projections will certainly change over time. No one knows for certain what will happen. 1 AU = approximtely 93,000,000 miles (93 Million). Every one of you has a calcualtor program embedded in your computer operating system, Windows, Linux, and Apple alike. And yet is seems to few even know how to use it. 93,000,000 * .15 = ??? 13,950,000.00 miles. My god you people are dumbed down. |

"The Great Destroyer" Say your name. Try to speak as clearly as you can. You know everything gets written down. Nod your head. Just in case they could be watching. With their shiny satellite. I hope they cannot see. The limitless potential. Living inside of me. To murder everything. I hope they cannot see. I am the great destroyer. Turn it up. Listen to the shit they pump into your head. Filling you with apathy. Hold your breath. Wait until you know the time is right on time. The end is near. I hope they cannot see. The limitless potential Living inside of me. To murder everything. I hope they cannot see I am the great destroyer |

Some are curious if its coma will grow like Comet 17P/Holmes did in 2007, where its coma grew bigger than the sun itself. Comet 17P/Holmes was Bigger Than The Sun!! Now what if COMET ELENIN does what Comet 17P/Holmes did being only 1.4 million miles or so away from us? - something to think about.
