Elenin comet, comet which was referred to as a harbinger of the coming Day of Judgement, has now been destroyed. Last weekend, the United States Space Agency (NASA) confirmed the termination of a history of the comet. Elenin obituary ending variety of stories and the prediction that the comet would cause the destruction of the earth.
Since last month, NASA continued to trail the movement Elenin, which approaches the sun. Exactly on October 16, 2011, telescopes are located on land and sky watching the comet was shattered. "Elenin has been split when near the sun," says acting NASA's Near Earth Object Program, Don Yeomans, through a press statement on NASA's official website. Elenin the scattered pieces and then thrown up to the fringes of the solar system commonly known as the Oort Cloud.
NASA ensures fractions Elenin will not go near the sun for 12 thousand years. Comet's nucleus is composed of ice, rocks, dust, and some organic compounds. These components form a clot material that is brittle like a snowball. A comet usually has a core of 2 kilometers with a tail that extends up to tens of millions of kilometers.
Elenin first seen in December 2010 by the Russian astronomer named Leonid Elenin. C/2010 XI, first name pinned on this comet, and then spread rapidly through the Internet. Some forecasters say that doomsday comet approaching the earth is moving and potentially result in a collision which destroyed the contents of the planet. *** [NASA | ANTON WILLAM | KORAN TEMPO 3693]
