The moment long feared by conspiracy theorists is nearly upon us: The "doomsday comet" Elenin will make its closest approach to Earth Sunday (Oct. 16). Or what's left of it will, anyway.
Comet Elenin started breaking up in August after being blasted by a huge solar storm, and a close pass by the sun on Sept. 10 apparently finished it off, astronomers say. So what will cruise within 22 million miles (35.4 million kilometers) of our planet Sunday is likely to be a stream of debris rather than a completely intact comet.
And the leftovers of Elenin won't return for 12,000 years, astronomers say.

No, that's when the yearly Leonid meteor showers peak. What you are thinking is the unnecessary confusion created by others who tried to claim some time back that Elenin came from the Leonid's ,because, for no other reason than that the person who discovered Elenin was named ' Leonid Elenin '.
