Comet Elenin: Preview of a Coming Attraction This news item from Nasa has set a buzz in the astro community. We expect a great deal of excitment and anticipation as this comet gets closer to us. Comet Elenin is coming to the inner-solar system this fall. Comet Elenin (also known by its astronomical name C/2010 X1), was first detected on Dec. 10, 2010 by Leonid Elenin, an observer in Lyubertsy, Russia, who made the discovery "remotely" using the ISON-NM observatory near Mayhill, New Mexico. Recommended Books Professor Brian Cox is back with another insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space. This time he shows us our universe as we've never seen it before. 13.7 billion years old. 93 billion light years wide. ------------------------------------------------------- Your Participation would be appreciated Telescope Reviews : If you have any thoughts relating to your telescope, why not share them with other amateur astronomers.
