now that it has been confirmed that Elinin exists,,,
is there proof that “Elenin” was here before and the 3600 year orbit it correct.
im sure the DATA must be available,
Released today, this is one of several new images taken with the full-frame camera aboard NASA’s Dawn spacecraft currently in orbit around the asteroid Vesta. Look at the detail in the surface! Incredible!
Dawn was approximately 3,200 miles (5200 km) from Vesta when these images were taken.
Remember too, Vesta is not a small chunk of rock. It’s a complicated world, the second-largest object in the main asteroid belt, and has a surface area twice as large as the state of California. That’s a big place!

Very nice. Is this hunny gonna hit us?
The first data will be transmitted to Earth on August 2-3 and will be available from August 4.

The transmission of beacon mode ("real time") data is interrupted during a roll maneuver because the antenna is not aimed along that axis.
The data from that period should appear when the full data set is downloaded via the Deep Space Network in a couple of days, if not sooner.

"since the fires will be something to contend with",,very curious.

Is this Leonid Elenin's ELENIN?
yep there it is!!
what a ride for her...since she is going pretty fast..
and what a ride has been here on ATS..with all alignments, EQ's, nibiru etc
mmm..do you agree comet elenin to be a female btw?

The eccentricity now given is 0.999955 resulting in a semi-major axis of 10793 AU, an aphelion of 21,585 AU and an orbital period of 1.121 million years.
------------------------
Based upon one set of data, Elenin’s period could be 11,000 years; based upon another set of data, the period is 600,000 years.

Comet C/2010 X1 Elenin is still headed our way. Its orbital eccentricity has ... That equates to an orbital period of 3.457 million years. ...

Kazuo Kino#a shows C/2010 X1 to have a heliocentric orbital period of 600,000 years,

Due to its 38,000 year period, Elenin could have picked up a vastly different electrical charge than

Further observations and calculations show that its period is on the order of 10,000 years, and that this is likely its first pass through the inner solar

Elenin is still a relatively small, long-period comet. It should be noted that comets are not

The comet will return to the Sun in around 12,000 years.
Might help too clear up, some confusion.
thanks.
