As Elenin passes between the sun and earth on 9/26/11... UGLY!

As Elenin passes between the sun and earth on 9/26/11 both her and the earth will be above the ecliptic plane. Since the coma always points away from the sun, it appears the coma will engulf the earth as it passes by.

See the link and adjust the parameters to 10days and then advance the date and watch Elenin arrive directly between earth and the sun on 9/26/11.
