Comet Elenin disintegrated!

According to the resource spaceweather.com, known by the false report about what constitutes a threat to Earth, the comet Elenina apparently fallen apart. Observationsamateur astronomer Michael Mattiatstso of Australian Kestlmayna show a markeddecrease in elongation and brightness of the comet over the past 10 days.


The behavior is similar to a comet Elenina comet LINEAR, which collapsed in 2000,approaching the Sun. Mattiatstso also watched the event. "Yes, I watched thedisintegration of the comet in July 2000," he recalls. "It was pretty exciting to watch asthe day the core expanded, taking the form of cigars. The apparent disintegration of the comet Elenina similar, though less visually spectacular. "

Comets are large objects, and are easily destroyed by the impact of solar heat. So the likely collapse of the comet Elenina although unexpected, however, should not come as a surprise.
