    Ximmy, that all sounds good to me, but I don't do fantasy baseball, you don't have to watch TV, I don't even know what "Rudy" is, and I'll pack your lunch. Oh, and ETA that I simply adore assertive women.
    ...and you'd seriously listen to Rush? Cool. Where do I sign? lol

    So after tonight we should be past any Elenin tail (and way below it). I'm going to assume nothing unusual happens in the next few days and call my prediction (after being hit by a CME in August) of what Elenin will do to earth as being correct.

    ...Perhaps a solar flare will knock off the rest of the tail in the next month that may come our way.
    Also a few days earlier in another thread I said more specifically the most probable outcome was some strange light effects someone at the right place and right time could notice.

    And so it was: http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthre...orthern+lights
    [October 24] Rare, all-red auroras occur much higher, at 300 to 500 kilometers altitude and are associated with a large influx of electrons. These electrons are moving too slowly to penetrate deeply into the atmosphere: they actually have less energy than the electrons that create more common auroras.
    Elenin still could affect us, we will have to wait until next spring to see what Elenin may have dragged out of the meteor belt last year.

    Anyway now on to the next solar chicanery, 1/3 the diameter, not as much capacitance 'bug zapper' or plasma coma issue as Elenin, but much much closer: Asteroid 2005 YU55.

    http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news171.html
    [T]his will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WN5 will pass to within 0.6 lunar distances.
    Big Asteroid's Approach in November Excites Astronomers

    An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will come closer to Earth this autumn than our own moon does, causing scientists to hold their breath as it zooms by. But they'll be nervous with excitement, not with worry about a possible disaster.

    There's no danger of an impact when the asteroid 2005 YU55 makes its close flyby Nov. 8, coming within 201,700 miles (325,000 kilometers) of Earth, scientists say.

    So they're looking forward to the encounter, which could help them learn more about big space rocks.

    "While near-Earth objects of this size have flown within a lunar distance in the past, we did not have the foreknowledge and technology to take advantage of the opportunity," Barbara Wilson, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said in a statement. "When it flies past, it should be a great opportunity for science instruments on the ground to get a good look."

    Asteroid 2005 YU55 is about 1,300 feet (400 meters) wide. It was discovered in December 2005 by the Spacewatch program at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

    Because of the asteroid’s size and orbital characteristics, astronomers have flagged 2005 YU55 as potentially dangerous down the road. But the upcoming encounter is no cause for alarm, researchers said.

    "YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over, at the very least, the next 100 years," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at JPL. "During its closest approach, its gravitational effect on the Earth will be so minuscule as to be immeasurable. It will not affect the tides or anything else."

    ...Radar astronomy employs the world's biggest dish-shaped antennas. The antennas direct microwave signals at celestial targets that can be as far away as the moons of Saturn.

    These signals bounce off the target, and the resulting "echo" helps researchers create radar images. These images can then be used to reconstruct detailed, three-dimensional models of the object.

    With 4-meter-per-pixel resolution, the new views of 2005 YU55 should be pretty sharp, perhaps even showing boulders and craters, researchers said.


    ...Researchers are eager to train the instruments of both facilities on 2005 YU55 in November.

    "So stay tuned," Yeomans said. "This is going to be fun."

    Wouldn't the burning/fizzling event slow the approach of intended ETA trajectory(s)?

    Note the date: the infamous November 9th.

    The question is, why is there a doom drill on the 9th?
    Doom Drill, 1 pm CST, 3 minute nationwide blackout

    And even more startling, why is the a tsunami forecast for that day?
    Red alert - tsunami forecast 11-9-2011

    November 10th is the full moon btw.

    comet Elenin crew spreading disinfo.


    Dark matter exceeds the mass of the core of the galaxy, but has never been found.

    Oooh-Ooooh, big bulging Jupiter tuggs.

    Jupiter has been putting on quite a show in the night sky lately as it officially reached opposition on October 28, 2011, making it a target of many astrophotographers as the gas giant shows itself off big and bright in the night sky. This animation from amateur astronomer Leonard E. Mercer from Malta shows Jupiter’s famous Great Red Spot moving across the surface of the mighty planet. Mercer captured a series of 12 images on the 27th and 28th (10pm – 2.00am. CET). Mercer used a C11 telescope and DMK 21 mono camera with RGB filters. “Conditions were very good!” he said.
    Opposition means an the planet is directly opposite the Sun as seen from Earth, which also put it at its closest point to Earth in the two planets’ orbits around the Sun.
