Hi Coot:
So we got a comet the don't know it's left from it's right....but you know you may have a point on that...I hate to say but I agree with you on that one Terral. But then again it could just be because the pics are flipped don't know but still it is a comet non the less
I brought this point up to an astronomy group and they agreed that we should be looking at right to left movement of this object.
NASA JPL ELEnin. When we back the dates up to
Dec. 10, 2010, then Earth is swinging around in orbit on the winter side (top) and ELEnin is way over to our left and moving farther left, which should give us right to left movement. Now move the dates forward to April 22, 2011. That is the day Earth passes through ELEnin orbit and the day this object should appear to be coming straight at us; moving neither left nor right, but just getting larger. Then forward the date to June 4, 2011 when Earth passes on by ELEnin orbit. NOW Earth is on the left side of ELEnin and the movement is from our left to our right like all the pictures have shown so far.
The only thing I can think of as a possible answer is the Earth is rotating in a counterclockwise manner from our perspective. If Earth rotation is moving left faster than this ELEnin object is moving left, THEN this thing will appear to be moving right to a telescope on Earth.

However, this is supposed to be a gif of our ELEnin object. This thing is moving FAST from our left to right that appears to be MUCH too fast for an object that is supposed to be moving from right to left and Earth rotation is overcoming that movement. That thing is moving across our field of view like a rocket ship and the background stars ARE NOT. That simple fact tells you that Earth rotation has nothing to do with it, or all the stars would be moving to our right. Again, I am no astronomer, but something seems fishy here. If anyone has an explanation, then I am all ears.

You guys need to listen to Dutch showing an uptick in GLOBAL seismic activity. His report was taking five minutes not long ago, and now he needs two videos of 15 minutes to give the report; because the activity is picking up around the world as predicted by the Event Timeline (
