Leonid Elenin is a Russian astronomer known for his discovery of a comet, officially designated C/2010 X1 (Elenin), in December 2010. The comet gained public attention, particularly due to various conspiracy theories suggesting that it had potential catastrophic effects on Earth, which were largely unfounded.
