Grim warning: Comet C/2013 A1 on possible collision course with Mars
A cosmic cataclysm could take place soon in the neighborhood of Earth as comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring), discovered earlier this year, has chances to collide with Mars in October 2014, Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin announced on Monday on the site of the ISON-NM Observatory (New Mexico).

According to the scientist, the nominal minimum distance between Mars and the comet could only be 0.00073 astronomical units, or about 109,200 kilometers.
C/2013 A1 is a hyperbolic comet moving on a retrograde orbit and its speed upon meeting Mars could be very high, reaching nearly 56 km/s.
Current simulation estimates claim that the diameter of comet’s core is greater than 50 km. “Energy released from a possible collision could amount to an amazing figure of 20 billion megatons,” said Zelenin.

Such a catastrophic event is capable of leaving on Mars a crater with a diameter of 500 km and a depth of about 2 km. The effects seem to surpass even the well-known July 9, 1994 bombing of Jupiter by the disintegrated comet Shoemaker-Levy whose diameter was 15 km.
Previously, astronomer Leonid Vladimirovich Elenin discovered comets such as C/2010 X1 (Elenin) and NOR1 P/2011 NO1, as well as a number of asteroids.
Regarding the biographical aspects, Leonid Elenin was born on August 10, 1981 and is currently working with the ISON-NM observatory (H15) via the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON), which is the 1st Russian remote observatory in the West.
Elenin collaborates also with the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics and lives in Lyubertsy, near Moscow, Russia.
