I cannot estimate distance with one lens. It was twice my field of view. The moon was 4 usually. Depending on distance it could be 1/4 size of moon or same size but 10 times further away. I need a clear bit with the moon out to be able to compare. Anyone near Ohio, Detroit with telescope, we could compare notes

Much bigger than the moon then, wow. Maybe its an energy field that's going to envelope the Earth. That would be a trip.

COMET CORPSE: "Doomsday Comet" Elenin was briefly famous for inaccurate predictions that it might hit Earth. Instead it disintegrated as it approached the sun last month. (Doomsday canceled.) Over the weekend, Italian astronomer Rolando Ligustri spotted the comet's remains. It's the elongated cloud in this Oct. 22nd photo of the star field where Elenin would have appeared if it were still intact:

Another team of astronomers--Ernesto Guido, Giovanni Sostero and Nick Howes--spotted the cloud on the same night. At first they were skeptical. "The cloud was extremely faint and diffuse," says Guido. "We wondered if it might be scattered moonlight or some other transient artifact." But when the team looked again on Oct. 23, the cloud was still there. A two-night blink animation shows that the cloud is moving just as the original comet would have. Note: Some readers have noticed a fast-moving streak to the to the lower right of the debris cloud. That is an unrelated asteroid, 2000 OJ8 (magnitude 14), which happened to be in the field of view at the same time as the cloud of Elenin.

More information about this discovery and continued tracking of the "comet corpse" may be found at the Remanzacco Observatory Astronomy Blog.

Finally Someone putting Elenin to rest!!

Then again Ethericplane will not even believe those astronomers because it does NOT fit into his narrow thinking.

Looks like Elenin has turned into a black dot against the sun. So strange. Does not appear to be a digital or lens artifact. What could this possibly mean.

Other problems include a warm spell in Antarctica, which could be volcanic. If the ice cap there got melted it would seriously raise sea levels.

Furthermore, sun is rising in the wrong place, indicating the beginnings of a pole shift.

start at minute 6.30 if you re in a hurry.

Here we go again.
Some people still will not believe Elenin is a DEAD issue.
I will admit that I did not bother to watch the latest video.
It lost credibility when the poster said that the sun is not in the right spot in the sky.

Funny how it's only in the wrong spot in only one place on the planet.

You want to keep Elenin alive...
I will continue to question the information you put up.
I enjoy seeing how your stories continue to change with this topic.

Oh, is the Hoover Dam still in place?

I could care less what you do, you're a shill.

Then explain how the sun can rise in a different place but only in one part of the world.
"IF" there is a shift taking place, wouldn't the rising sun be in a different place ALL over the world?

You will seriously believe anything yet I'm the shill.
Good luck with that.

I noticed you did not comment when other credible astronomers disproved your ideas about Elenin.
Another member posted that.
Talk about one sided and narrow minded.

Can you explain why the hoover dam is still in place?

Come on, if I'm a shill you should be able to answer my questions with your experts.

This video is completely bogus. They're confusing the moon and the sun. The camera are constantly changing their exposure to adjust to the available light.

LOL I bet the OP will not believe you. LOL

He will just label you another shill.
Welcome to the club.

I have written NUMEROUS topics on Elenin, and why she is dead. Etheric, im a bit worried at how easily you are being coierced in to such psuedo scientifc non sense friend. Just because someone posted a video with dramatic music and a bunch of drummed up (idiotic) facts, doesnt make it true. Please, elenin is gone, disentegratred.

Elenin is dead.

Then let it go Red... This thread is old, dead, gone.... You're a bit late off the mark mate

Elenin just doesn't die.

Here is recent commentary from a watcher about the black dot on the sun.

Many were expecting to see Elenin leave the solar system and the Earth pass through it's tail. It hasn't happened.
