MADRID, 5 May. (IRIN) -
Elenin The newly discovered comet will reach the inner solar system this fall. This item also known for its astronomical name C/2010 X1 was first detected last December 10 by Leonid Elenin, an observer in Lyubertsy, Russia, who made the discovery of the observatory remotely via ISON-NM near Mayhill, New Mexico.
At the time of discovery, the comet was about 647 million km from Earth. In the past four and a half months, "the comet closed the distance to the vicinity of Earth, as it makes its way closer to perihelion (closest point to the sun). In these days of May, Elenin distance is about 274 million kilometers. 
"That's what happens to these long-period comets coming from way out of our planetary system, "said Don Yeomans, Object Program Near Earth at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California." They make these long and majestic arches quickly through of our solar system, and sometimes constitute a great show. But not going to Elenin. Now the comet is behaving in a cowardly way. " 
How can a scientist at the NASA cometary define cowardice?" We're talking about what it looks like a comet, with discretion as it flies past us, "Yeomans said." Some visitors who come from comets outside region of the planets, as Hale-Bopp in 1997 - the night sky lit up to the point to be followed with the naked eye as they move safely into the solar system. But the trend is different Elenin. Will be needed a good pair of binoculars, clear skies and a dark and secluded to be seen even at its peak. Elenin have its maximum brightness shortly before the moment of closest approach to Earth on October 16 this year. At its closest point, is 35 million miles from us. Can I have some influence on the Earth, tidal or tectonic plates, or dangerously close in the future? It has been speculated about it the wrong way.

Elenin The comet will not find dark bodies that may disrupt its orbit, and will not influence us in some way here on Earth, "Yeomans said." There will be closer to 35 million miles. "
"Elenin not only be far, but is also among the small comets," Yeomans said. "And the comets are not the densest objects that exist. Usually have the density of something like dirty ice without compacting.
is far and will not show, but This comet is of interest. "This little intrepid traveler will give astronomers an opportunity to study a relatively young comet that came from far beyond the region of planets in our solar system. After the observation, we will not see thousands of years. That's very good "he said.
