C/2010x1 or Elenin

Elenin closes in on Earth in mid-late Oct.2011

Discovered by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin on December 10 of 2010, "comet" Elenin or C/2010x1 is gaining much attention by astronomers and doomsdayers alike. Some are even touting it to be the famed Nibiru, brown dwarf star, Wormwood, Kachina, or even a giant space ship, that will topple our Earth in mid to late October of 2011 which coincides, by the way, with the revised Mayan end date(Oct.28,2011) of the Fourth World. It may be playing a key role in the current major changes occurring in our solar system or it may simply be an indicator for such. We will know for certain in the next six to eight months.

Wikipedia gives Elenin a semi-major axis of 522 AU(with an aphelion of 1043 AU) and an orbital period of 11,800 years. It has an inclination to the ecliptic of 1.839° and reaches perihelion(closest approach to the sun) on September 10, 2011.

Here is an ephemeris of C/2010x1 or Elenin in zodiacal longitudes derived from the cordinates of the IAU Minor Planet Center as well as the Nasa JPL Horizons system. The coordinates were converted using the Riyal astrology program. Elenin appears to spend most of its time/orbit in Leo or Cancer, except when it is closest to the Earth and Sun -then it goes into a few other signs as well.
