Comet Elenin disintegrating and breaking up as it approaches the Sun

August 30, 2011 – SO MUCH FOR DOOMSDAY: Comet Elenin (C/2010 X1), widely known for inaccurate reports of its threat to Earth, appears to be breaking apart. Observations by amateur astronomer Michael Mattiazzo of Castlemaine, Australia show a rapid dimming and elongation of the comet’s nucleus akin to that of Comet LINEAR (C/1999 S4), which also disintegrated when it approached the Sun in 2000. Comets are fragile objects, so this development while unexpected comes as no surprise. Readers with pertinent images of Elenin are invited to submit them here. -Space Weather

I would say mis-information but from this site it is hard to say it is wrong but it is possible

The above site is Leonid Elenin's blog and while the video he posted has no meaning for me as I know nothing about space, in the comments below he interacts with people regarding the break up and does state that he will post another blog shortly explaining more.

If you open the blog and it's in russian - there's a drop down box at the top right hand corner - just choose english. :-)

I went there and only saw video
the video was showing the sun have a CME (erupting the hot material) that would be hitting Elenin which will have an effect

plus I had it on English and still had Russian
