Looks like a comet. But it created a gravitational trough, that's not like a comet. By simple numbers it's effect will be 240 times the influence of the March alignment during the Sept. alignment.
No, I'm not kidding. This is a comet? Where is your proof?
So have at it - what are your thoughts regarding any possible events caused by Earth passing through Elenin's debris tail/trail/comma.
coma - a dense cloud of water, carbon dioxide, and other gases spewed off by the evaporating nucleus as the comet nears the Sun;
dust tail - up to 10 million km long, it is composed of smoke-sized dust particles driven off the nucleus by the escaping gases (this is the most obvious part of a comet to the naked eye);
ion tail - up to 100 million km long, it is composed of ions that interact with the solar wind.

14. How does a comet change as it comes near the Sun?
When a comet has come near enough to the Sun to be affected by the Sun's radiation, the gases of which it is composed are vaporized. The comet grows tremendously in size without gaining mass, and is a vapour. The very small particles which were in the frozen gases are now free and travelling along as they were before.
15. Why does a comet's tail usually point away from the Sun?
A comet's tail is formed when the Sun's radiation and the pressure of light drive the very thin gases and very small particles that form the head of a comet away from the head. Since the force that produces the tail of a comet comes from the Sun, the tail is driven out from the side of the comet's head which is away from the Sun, and points away from the Sun.
16. How long is the tail of a comet?
There are some comets which have no tail as they passed near the Sun. As a rule, however, comets' tails are very, very long. The tail of Halley's comet was about 160 million kilometres long, longer than the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The Great comet of 1843 had a tail over 480 million kilometres in length.

I feel that we will get some major affect like Haley's comet on one of these near misses of the three comets (I think it is). If not Elenin then one of the others. TOO many rocks seem to be flying by Earth these days giving credence to the amonous feeling that SOME of these people who appear whacked, MIGHT be onto something when they claim a big event is about to happen. All the chatter has us collectively going all directions with very little true focus. Something is affecting the Sun and the weather throughout the solar system in a way not observed before in modern civilization.
Either Velokovsky's electric universe in action or a brown dwarf companion star or something still undetermined. It matters not what is doing this. as it is obvious the Earth is going through natural changes related to a heretofore officially unacknowledged solar system wide event. What matters is how to deal with whatever it is? Or is this all HAARP stuff with photoshopped SOHO pics complicating the data for those who seek the truth? I think since I had seen evidence of warming on other planets with Saturn and Jupiter reportedly in phases never described before, I feel that it is something beyond Earth's influence driving the matter.
Cool, you start with a non-committal "the verdict is still out" and then you mention "major affect" (sic) "like Halleys Comet", what effect is that?
Then you start mentioning stuff about the Sun and weather being affected (I assume by comets), when was that?
You then mention Emmanuel Velikovsy's electric universe as if it hasn't already been debunked many times before.
And, to top it all off, you talk about HAARP stuff & SOHO images being photoshopped.
Please, stick to one idea, state your theory or belief & provide some sort of proof or support for us to evaluate.
Otherwise, it looks like some sort of stream-of-consciousness rant.

No, the verdict is not out at all, it is what it is.
And like others I would really like to know what 'major affect' Halley's comet actually had, do you care to elaborate on this point?

All this fear mongering about comets coming to kill us reminds me of that stupid movie "Night of the Comet (1984)" where, from IMDB, "Two pretty high school girls (one a cheerleader!) don't like their mother or her new boyfriend ("Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!"). One morning, they wake up to find that everybody in Los Angeles has been turned to dust by a Comet except them, a guy who looks like Erik Estrada, some zombies and the occupants of a secret underground government installation."
IMDB
Trailer here
If it really happens like in the movies I can't say I like idea of it getting less crowded after Elenin passes though killing zombies might be fun.

Its the tail of comets brushing earth's atmsophere and creating red skies that are in ancient writings, myths and accounts including in the bible, during Moses's exodus. Also coinciding with the tail and red dust are earth changes, so there is probably quite a bit of impact.

His pronouncement led to panicked buying of gas masks and quack "anti-comet pills" and "anti-comet umbrellas" by the public. In reality, as other astronomers were quick to point out, the gas is so diffuse that the world suffered no ill effects from the passage through the tail.

The tail of Comet C/2010 X1 will easily exceed 100,000 km (it has been estimated that it could extend as far as 2.5 million km) but as the comet, on its closest approach to Earth will be over 21 million miles away, the tail could only reach 1/8th of the distance to the Earth at best.
The Earth simply will not pass through the tail.
Also the particles streaming from CME's from the Sun are highly ionized. The coma of a comet would, most likely be fairly inert as far as ionic charge and would be less likely to have any effect upon the Earth's environment.
But nice theory and well presented.

Julie, I stand corrected. I previously stated that the comet will never return due to its hyperbolic orbit, but this was incorrect.
The latest data does actually make it look like it is a long period comet.
It has apparently been perturbed in its path by the giant planets.
Its period seems to be about 11,600 years.edit on 31/5/2011 by chr0naut because: (no reason given)
