Someone on another thread was very concerned about this comet (Comet Elenin), as well.
Here are a couple of items I posted to her:
From Sydney Stargazers: Leonid Elenin – Elenin Is No Dwarf Star. Another interesting article on Elenin from their site: Some Quick Notes on Comet Elenin.
Here is a nicely-done summary on Comet Elenin, put together by an amateur astronomer in Adelaide, Australia: Comet Elenin: the FAQ for the worried.
Hope this helps a bit :)
Step one, stop relying on YouTube for your astronomy and astrophysical news needs. There’s not a freakin’ brown dwarf coming through the Solar System, and the Comet Elenin is just a comet.
Step two, if applicable, take all your Zecharia Sitchin books (and the even more amateurish derivative works) and bury them somewhere in your yard. You could just sell them I guess, but then someone else might get sucked into that nutty 3600 year long orbit of an imaginary planet.
Only if there is a whale on it.

I’m not sure what that means....
Maybe it’s a Blonde Day for me?
I'm an astrophysicist!
Also a marine biologist and an architect!

The Paper - Astronomical alignments as the cause of ~M6+ seismicity
I have a degree in Physics, was curious, and this now has my full attention.
Looks like Mensur Omerbashich of the European Royal Society Physics dept is taking this “comet” into account for the “robustness” of the greater earthquakes over the last few years, including alignments between Elenin-Earth-Sun within 3 days of the 2/27/2010 Chilean and 3/11/2011 Japanese great earthquakes. His paper constantly refers to C2010/X1 as “the Elenin”. If this was just a comet, I wouldn’t expect any effects, as it would have a very small mass to Earth and Sun relatively. A really curious fact about this “comet” is that the perihilion date (closest to the Sun) of this comet Elenin is 9/11/2011 ... ELENIN ... NINe ELEven... how could that reasonably also be the discoverers LAST NAME? And there is more, MUCH more out there about this... (and a lot of silliness mixed in, as well)... download the paper pdf file and READ IT. The next alignement is Sun-Elenin-Earth on 9/26/2011 with Elenin approximately HALFWAY between us and the Sun. Yikes!

Abstract: I here demonstrate empirically my georesonator concept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses’ resonance causes seismicity. To that end, I show that all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth’s long (t>3 day) astronomical alignments within our solar system. I then show that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. Finally, the strongest (M8.6+) earthquakes of the past century are shown to have occurred during the Earth’s multiple long alignments, whereas half of the high-strongest (M9+) ones occurred during the Full Moon. I used the comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin), as it has been adding to robustness in terms of very strong seismicity since 2007 (in terms of strongest seismicity: since 1965). The Elenin will continue intensifying the Earth’s very strong seismicity until August-October, 2011. Approximate forecast of earthquakes based on my discoveries is feasible. This demonstration proves my hyperresonator concept, arrived at earlier as a mathematical-physical solution to the most general extension of the georesonator concept possible.
More “End of the world” nonsense. But it has plenty of die-hard zealots here.
A paper linked by Cornell/Harvard, etc by a man from the European Royal Society, which does not say anything about the “end of the world”, is nonsense?
For extra credit, please explain how the supposed discovering amateur astronomer has a First Name which matches the direction from which the object comes, “Leonid”, the Leo constellation, and a Last Name which is an anagram for the Perihilion Date of said object “Elenin”. The date is 9/11/2011... ELEven NINe -> Elenin.
Those 2 pieces of information (direction from and Perihilion date) are the 2 vital things about an inbound Comet... and they MATCH his name? Now, THAT is nonsense.
This means that “Leonid Elenin” is a FAKE Person, and therefore the whole story about the supposed discovery of this “Comet Elenin” should be in doubt.
But, no, it is just nonsense. Nothing to see here.
