There is an internal gas envelope and so this coma is really rare because it is external. The diameter is approximately 80,000km. http://spaceobs.org/en/2011/04/10/comet-elenin-continues-to-increase-in-size-and-another-close-approach-with-a-large-main-belt-asteroid/
An asteroid (which you will find is related to Comet Elenin in that it will be meeting it's tail) called 2005 YU55 is also approaching earth. This "near earth object" will be approaching its near Earth space in November 2011 (approximately). The size of this asteroid is approximately 1300 ft. in diameter. This asteroid has been designated a "potentially hazardous asteroid" by The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass.
Both of these objects with potential hazard for Earth are being extensively monitored via radar and infrared observations. While Elenin is being observed extensively because of its growth, long, large tail, and trajectory, with possible changes, 2005 YU55 is being observed because NASA shows that on 11-9-2011 this asteroid will be only .0022 AU from earth. Should we be concerned, given a margin of error?
NASA has been working on emergency preparedness improvement and really pushing family preparedness. The emphasize planning, practicing, and detailing our preparedness plan.
Some say that this is Bible prophecy. There is so much discussion about this. However, we need to prepare in a real physical sense for emergencies of all kinds and not worry about these doomsday theories as much because we cannot control comets and asteroids.
Predictions from various sources are that asteroid 2005 YU55 will hit Comet Elenin's tail when they are closest to Earth or somewhere along the way. Regardless of when this happens, the trajectory for either "near Earth object" may drastically change. I'll leave it to you to decide if that would be good or would be bad for Earth.
Will these two space objects meet and will they affect Earth? All we can do is watch. In any case, this is an even stronger push for everyone to work on their emergency preparedness.
We know there have been massive preparedness exercises throughout the world for some largely impacting disaster. One of the more disturbing preparedness pieces of information I have found is that FEMA has ordered the following...

On 11th september 2011, 2005YU 55 will align with Sun and Comet Elenin.
And: At that same moment (9-11-2011) Comet Elenin will be at its closest point to the Sun. (perihelion)
According to Leonid Elenin himself, Comet Elenin can evaporate at that moment. (see comments on: http://spaceobs.org/en/2011/04/04/radiolokaciya-komety-elenina-mozhet-byt-provedena-na-300-metrovom-radioteleskope-aresibo/)
Comet Elenin has effected Earth everytime our planet was in alignment with it and the sun. But still NASA can not determine the mass and gravity force of Elenin for there have not been changes in other planet's orbits yet. But 2005YU 55 is very small, therefore NASA can also not assure that Comet Elenin wil not affect 2005YU 55's orbit.....
And what if Comet Elenin will affect the orbit of 2005YU 55? Depending on the change this NEO can collide with our Earth or Moon...
Government and NASA therefore MUST be watching 2005YU 55 closely after 9-11, to calculate if there will be an impact. But they will not tell us about it until some days before impact.
Is there anyone in position to hack NASA, or leak info from the government and NASA? And share the info with us? You can save a lot of lives.
Thank you for all of the great information! I wish I knew someone who had inside information on this subject. I continue to research and as soon as I find something, I will post it. If you find something further, please feel free to share. Thanks a million!
I will do so! And I will track this post to keep in touch!
Hi Natasha,
Here is an update on my previous post:
Maybe you already know, I just found out yesterday.
FEMA is having its first national emergency test on 9th of november. The same dat 2005YU 55 is passing close by (or impact when it's orbit is changed on 9-11 due to the alignment with Elenin).
In this test they will have controll over all radio and tv stations nationwide for 3 minutes.

Does this sound familiar to you? Remember the military test on 11-9-2001 at the same moment of the terror attack....
Okay...now you have my attention! I am going to be looking into this tomorrow (really today, since it is 2:30 in the morning). This is getting more interesting by the day. Thank you for the information because I didn't know about this. Thanks a bunch for reading my blog as well! You are so great for contributing!
I thought it was strange that the same day I read about this asteriod I see a commerical on TV about the emergency test they will conduct for 3mins on 9th of November. But all the news I'm reading online is only talking about Tuesday....
