Phage, thanks for showing up. However, you didn't read it right. The first image is the Projection AS OF March. then I fastfowarded the animation to OCT 17, 2011.
The second image is the projection AS OF today. then i fastfowarded the animation to OCT 17, 2011.
The differnce between the two is 35 MILLION km. That is quit a margin of error no??!!?!
If, as I suspect, you got this 'stuff' from the Elenin.org page, then the orbit viewer is broken, it is missing the Stereo A and Stereo B orbits, which is why double 'Earth - Sun' data is visible in the bottom left. Correct data can be found here Elenin + Stereo A +Stereo B
Sorry to be the party pooper and burst the 'doom seekers' bubble.
However, if you are seeking doom, I can point you in a new direction.

EDIT: Here is an image comparing both webpage source code, you can see the problem, more so if you are familiar with webpage coding. If image is cut off, try opening in a new window.

It hasn't changed more than a very slight refinement over time. I began posted in the close approach distances and times as given by JPL here, back on March 10th. The last update I gave was here. You can see the data between the oldest and newest data is very much consistent.

Based on my research, they have changed it several times.

Forget Elenin (it's tiny). Look at how close Mars is coming to the earth. I mean, what is to say Nasa has the trajectory of that right. How do we know it won't just change its orbit and run right across in front of the earth!
Mars is massive compared to Elenin. HUGE.
All this disinformation about NASA getting the trajectory of Elenin wrong is just to scare people and to cover up the real story which is that if NASA is wrong about the trajectory of Mars it will obliterate our planet and Mars too.
(And yes, because there are lots of people on this site who take everything they read seriously, no matter how ill-conceived it is, I am joking. This is post satire.)

About Elenin, just wait a few weeks we will be able to see it in the night sky. That will take the hammer to this thing once and for all.

Finally someone recognizes what I mean by source, the source the OP used, that was not on the JPL site proved by Phang's link from January!! This is what Captianinstaban can't seem to get through his thick head,
while calling me out for misunderstanding
it's clear he doesn't read posts, or any info that is counter to his view he's obviously trolling.
You expect unbiased responses with a board name like that? Constant posts of crap not even acknowledging the links?
