'Doomsday Comet' Elenin to swing by earth tomorrow (well, 22million miles away) | Mail Online: "The 'Doomsday Comet' Elenin will make its closest approach to earth today, something conspiracy theorists have long feared.
The comet started breaking up in August after being blasted by a huge solar storm so tomorrow, when it comes to within 22 million miles of earth, it will be a stream of debris rather than an intact comet.
Astronomer Don Yeomans of the Near-Earth Object Programme Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told Space.com: 'Folks are having trouble finding it, so I think it's probably dead and gone.'"
