This is a followup to my previous video showing that Elenin would severely perturb the positions of the planets at the present point in time if it were a brown dwarf.
This video is a closeup shot of the inner solar system to show what Elenin would do to it if it were a minimum mass brown dwarf (13 MJ). I adjusted the orbital elements for Elenin within Universe Sandbox to make them as precise as possible given the rounding limits of the program.
By the beginning of this year Elenin would already be visibly perturbing the inner solar system planets, particularly Venus, Earth, and Mars. You can see this by how much they deviate from the trails the traced out in previous orbits (something which does not happen when you reduce Elenin's mass to that of a comet or asteroid). This only gets worse as the year progresses and there would be no mistaking the improper positions of the planets by now if it were actually a brown dwarf.
The climax occurs during "brown dwarf" Elenin's perigee; due to its close proximity to earth, earth is completely pulled out of its orbit and into a highly eccentric orbit resembling that of a long period comet. Earth rapidly passes the orbital radius of Mars and eventually Jupiter on its way out of the inner solar system. There would be no surviving such a disaster, the entire planet would rapidly go into a state of deep freeze as it moves unavoidably farther and farther from the sun.
Fortunately there's no question that Elenin is not a brown dwarf. The perturbations that would precede this disaster are not happening and a brown dwarf would reflect to make it easily visible at that distance regardless of whether it was still emitting any light itself or not. Elenin is a very dim comet, even to infrared sensitive cameras attached to telescopes.
This is a gravitational simulation of the solar system including a comet with Elenin's approximate orbital elements showing the effect it would have on Saturn's orbital elements if it had the mass of a brown dwarf vs that of a comet of negligible mass.
The first run of the simulation uses a normal, sane mass for Elenin (negligible compared to the planets). The second run of the simulation that immediately follows it gives Elenin the minimum mass for a brown dwarf, 13 MJ.
As you can see, during the second run from the start of the simulated period on March 10th of this year until now, Saturn's eccentricity drops nearly 20% due to the perturbations of a minimum mass brown dwarf following the approximate orbit of Elenin. This is completely inconsistent with current observations of Saturn that do not show it to be out of place.

S&F Great thread. Too bad speculation goes as fact way too much around here.
@TrueHamal
...this video shows Elenin is not a brown dwarf. The gravitational perturbations of the planets' positions that would be happening right now are not happening. I observed Saturn's position just a couple of nights ago. According to this simulation, it should have been already perturbed out of its predicted position by 3.8 arcminutes if Elenin were a brown dwarf. Instead astrometric measurement showed it to be right where it should have been.

could you think how crazy it would get here ..... it would be a interesting adventure.... but deadly

Excellent work! Now if you can only post a video that proves that the Moon is not turning upside down or that the Sun is not rising in the wrong place.... Unfortunately, this board seems to be filled with people who think that NASA is the only body capable of looking up.

Would you be willing to go out on a limb and say that there is no danger in the Sept. alignment dates? On or about Sept. 25, 26, 27th?
This would seem to be the logical conclusion from your post. Or the direction it is pointing to.
Would you go on the record and say, "all clear"?

There's a trend. Chile, Christ Church, Japan. Rule of three. Go with the trend or not at all.
What in the world is this object? Will store water and food just in case.
A hunch, this object has been here before.
