3 days of darkness?

No...this is the real story (cut and paste from an article)
Comet Elenin passed its perihelion – or closest point to the sun – more than a week ago on September 10, 2011 and yet most of us forgot to check on it then because, well, what was there to check on? By that time, Elenin was already disintegrating, as some comets do near the sun.
So, for everyone who has asked, no, Comet Elenin is still NOT on a collision course with Earth. Neither are any of its pieces because, when a comet disintegrates, the pieces stay in the comet’s original orbit. Plus … Comet Elenin still shows NO signs of being or becoming a spaceship leading Planet X or Nibiru toward a collision with us. And no three days of darkness are expected around September 26 (“Will Bible Prophecy Be Fulfilled?”) as Elenin passes between us and the sun.
Elenin is NOT now, and never was, going to pass between us and the sun, and, even if it did, Elenin’s nucleus or core (the part that could do any shading) at its largest was only a few kilometers wide. That’s in contrast to 1,391,980 kilometers for the sun’s diameter.
Elenin block out the sun? That’s like a mote of dust blocking out a headlight of your car.
What is Comet Elenin then? It’s just a comet, like millions of other comets, a fragile ball of ices and dust leftover from the formation of our sun and planets. As mentioned above, Elenin apparently isn’t even substantial enough to have survived its closest passage to our sun on September 10. It began disintegrating a few weeks before perihelion, in fact.
So why the hype? You got me.

Yet another viral video. There is no need to be alarmed. Comet Elenin has self destructed and will not be arriving. So, so much for that prophecy.
September 26th will be same as ever. But alas, people will still believe what they see on Urinetube.

No, just No.
There are loads of good astronomy websites, books and universities,
Why do people watch u-tube for their education.
Roadrunner is much better!!!

I'm not quite clear on how a 4 km wide object can block out the 1,300,000 km wide Sun for 3 days.
No doubt you can explain the physics behind that.

Elenin is often confused with Planet X/Nibiru. Legend has it that Nibiru will cause the darkness (if it exists). Elenin will do very little.

Gosh, if Elenin is such a huge destructive object, it must be quite a sight in the sky. Head on outside and tell me all about this massive beast.

Doubtful.

Take off your tinfoil hat. It is a normal comet okay so calm down.
