Everyone just *LOVES* to use the JPL as if it is in fact an accurate representation of the flight path of any given object. Yet on the JPL they
clearly state:
Note: Make sure you have Java enabled on your browser to see the applet.
This applet is provided as a 3D orbit visualization tool. The applet was
implemented using 2-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or
planetary encounter circumstances. For accurate long-term ephemerides, please instead use our Horizons system.
While the JPL is great at showing a perceived orbital path, it is not an exact representation and it's calculations with regards to planetary
alignments between objects can be skewed because of the mathematics involved. If you want a more accurate representation you will have to use their
Horizon's system, however, using the jpl an *alignment* will happen:
~September 26-27, 2011
This is the only time that Comet Elenin will be in a direct line (within a three-dimensional area) with the Earth and the Sun. At any other time,
Elenin is either above or below the
plane of the ecliptic for it to come into alignment
with the earth and the sun at the same time. In other words, it is always in alignment with both of them, just never at the same time until
approximately the date's listed above.
Give it a rest with regards to these other bogus dates.
March 15-16, 2011 USGS data recorders have 334 distinct events recorded one of them just so happen to be the earthquake in Japan.
USGS March 15-16 Data
If you want to sift through all that data, be my guest, but I will point out one thing. Each recorder reporting does not mean a seperate earthquake
as multiple devices are used to pinpoint epicenters and such. Multiple devices will report the same earthquake at varying degrees of magnitude and
time.
