There is a lot of info, positive and negative especially on you tube. I actually liked Terral an amatuer astronomer and followed his sites. This guy talks sense!! The movie deep impact has the same names then? Is this coincidental?This movie I think was made some 13 years ago! Google Washington Post of 1983 and see what NASA did discover that time already! That was with the IRAS. Then also Leonard Nimoy, who was Mr Spock on startrek, made a nice documentary film I think 1974 about the Maya calendar and clearly says the new era starts 2011 and not 2012!! Also what bothers me is that the so-called founder of Ele is Mr Leonid Elenin a russian astronomer. Leonid is a well-known name for meteor showers and Ele-nin? Just wondering?? Leo and Ele is common names in the movie Deep Impact. But now with all the confusion, I think for me the best is to wait and see. If this thing is as big they say, and the alignment is September 2011 and Ele is between earth and the sun, we should know!!! I hope its a hoax but better to prepare yourself just in case? Am I crazy or what I am not sure anymore?? Relax. Elenin is 3 mile wide icecube that will have zero impact on anything. Go smoke something. www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/07/24/believers-in-mysterious-planet-nibiru-comet-elenin-await-earths-end/?test=faces

First off Ice cube idea is probably not right as more and more signs are pointing to comets being made out the same stuff as asteroids, and are more like large magnetic capacitors as they discharge their extreme charge from deep space when they approach the sun. I'm sure Holmes comet became the size of the sun because of the melting ice, lol.
SO two things that are possible, because it current trajectory is not going to hit earth...
First and most plausible is when it rounds the sun on Sept 10-11, this is where the comet on its first approach can break up or change course. If it breaks then we could catch part of the shot gun.
second thing is when we will pass through its long tail (if it has one) on Sept 26-27, also aligned with Uranus. This could do something with our weather or maybe our magnetosphere.
either way its still going to be a great meteor shower.

Won't be the first time we've passed thru a comet tail, and everything is still here. PS: I really thought that we as a species had evolved beyond the stage where comets were viewed as harbingers of doom. Apparently not.

I'm not saying this is going to happen. Just saying these seem like possible scenarios that could have any effect on earth, both of which don't point to destruction of any kind, but to some interaction with earth.
To fully dismiss that there is any possible scenario in which we are effected in some way is ignorant of reality. Things happen, things change, and life and knowledge are not set in stone.
that being said, this will probably just be a great comet to watch in the sky. cheers mate

I'm surprised not to see the spelling out of what Elenin, the acronym, at least in some peoples minds, really is. I'm also curious about two points. 1)were there any pictures posted, perhaps elsewhere, of this supposed "meteor" or "asteroide" & 2)why this thread was lacking any relevant, related information on this "Planet X"/"Nibiru" I've been hearing & reading so much about. Anyone have any comments or, more importantly & preferable, any evidence on either? I'm not even educated enough to be a "novice" but I do have a serious interest & do appreciate any logical & relevant feedback. Please ignore my spelling, if you can, as that is not my forte ;-)
