Comet Elenin (C/2010 X1) was first discovered on December 10th by Leonid Elenin. I have not yet seen detailed descriptions of its orbit, but early calculations indicate that it will probably be visible to the naked eye in late August or early September 2011.

It's not going to hit the Earth; it MAY come within about 0.4 AU but not much closer.

That is not proven as we do not know the size of the meteor as NASA have not give us the measurements. NASA have also given a warning to all their employees to make sure their families are safe on October the 16th.

Will comet elenin cause catastrophies?

Comet 'Elenin' essentially fell apart in August 2011, on account of some unusually high solar activity. Those components of it that vaporized quickly dissipated in space. What's left is a cloud of sand, pebbles, stones, and possibly some ice chips, in the comet's original orbit. It was never a threat to Earth, and is even less of a threat now than it ever was.
