\"Comet<\/a>Over the past few months I have read lots of exciting news about Comet Elenin – that it could be the Blue Star Kachina of the Hopi Prophecy, heralding the end times, or that it is actually Planet X, the Nibiru of Zechariah Sitchin fame that comes close to Earth every 3600 years. \u00a0Or that the Comet Elenin was a Brown Dwarf star headed for a collision of earth in September of 2011, ready to extinguish life on earth as we know it.<\/p>\n

Despite the frenzy of fearmongering and misinformation, there are some interesting coincidences that have followed Comet Elenin which was discovered in December of 2010. \u00a0One scientist has found correlations between alignments of Elenin with the Sun and Earth <\/a>going back as far as 2006 that correspond to increased seismic activity.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>The timing of the Elenin\/Sun\/Earth alignment of March 15th just after the spectacular horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11th has given rise to speculation that the perihelion of Comet Elenin in September 2011 could give rise to more dramatic seismic activity. \u00a0The earthquake in Japan was preceded by an X-class solar flare on March 9th<\/a> and a coronal mass ejection (CME) that hit the Earth’s atmosphere on March 10th after an M-class flare on March 7th. \u00a0As astrologers know, alignments are generally stronger when they are in their applying phase than their separating phase.<\/p>\n

Most scientists, of course, don’t believe that Comet Elenin has a strong enough magnetic field to have any effect on Earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cComet Elenin will not only be far away, it is also on the small side for comets. And comets are not the most densely-packed objects out there. They usually have the density of something akin to loosely packed icy dirt,\u201d\u00a0said Yeomans. \u201cSo you\u2019ve got a modest-sized icy dirtball that is getting no closer than 35 million kilometers. It will have an immeasurably miniscule influence on our planet. By comparison, my subcompact automobile exerts a greater influence on the ocean\u2019s tides than comet Elenin ever will.\u201d (Don Yeomans, NASA researcher<\/a>)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not saying I believe that the poles will shift and the Earth will end as it passes through the comet’s tail. \u00a0But I’m not sure I would place all of my faith in scientists – after all, scientists have a bad habit of lacking imagination and an appreciation for the magic of the Universe.<\/p>\n
