Will Elenin Cause Days of Darkness?

Thanks to Suanne for finding this website.  It is rich with details.  This is a recent post on http://endgametime.wordpress.com/comet-elenin-let-their-be-light/ ...

"How long will ELENIN shadow the earth?

"The sun is 1,392,000 km wide.  At Elenin’s closest point, it is reported that the distance from earth will be about 0.23 AUs.  Let’s round to 0.25  (1/4) and keep things simple.  With a coma of 200,000 km as recently reported, at a distance of 1/4 AUs and  based on these numbers and the inverse square rule, Elenin will block out the area around the sun that is 4 squared times the width of Elenin.  Or 16 x 200,000km = 3,200,000 km wide.  Divide this by the width of the eclipsed sun at the distance of the sun = 2.299 sun diameters.   This means the edges of the eclipsed sun will extend about 0.65 sun diameters on each side of the sun.  Elenin is traveling at 80,000 kph.  At this speed, Elenin will block out the sun for 40 hours (3,200,000km/80,000km/hr).

"However this number should be considered a low ball number because Elenin’s coma should increase in size as it approaches the sun.  This will cause the Elenin eclipse to be longer.  For the eclipse to last 3 days (72 hours), the coma must grow to 360,000 km wide.  Keep your eye on the width of Elenin’s coma.  This distance correlates to the Bible’s 3 days of darkness."

Brian, hard to say if this is the first time Elenin has been in this solar system.  I read in one place that it has a 10,000 year orbital period.  But then, another source said that Elenin is a chunk of the core of PX, which is what makes it different from the average comet.

If you are following the Elenin blog, it is sending out EM waves, has objects orbiting around it, and several UFO's in its tail, for starters.

I don't think it will but I also believe that its but another comet.....

@Brian, I would have to say yes if its orbit is as they claim it is......

Shadow, I had wondered if anything other than a tilt or a wobble could do it.  I figured passage of a large object like PX would, but never considered a close fly-by of a comet.

No, it will not.  But Planet X will!

Elenin will be on the ecliptic plane at the same time it is at the closest point to the Sun, heard this on an interview in Master Marshall radio. They said it is such an amazing coincident that it almost seems like a dumb luck by design.

Thanks for this post, some many weeks ago I posted the same question, and was particularly looking for some geometry answer.

Fascinating.

Don't forget Elenin will be above the plane. ( on current orbit )
