@darthgabriel97 i think you probably saw a meteor not a comet=)

I can imagine a day where we will have the technology to hitch a ride on a comet.

Think of it as cheap space travel. LOL

@StephenTearle our sun is not capable of becoming a comet.

@skittlepower95

I know mate I dunno why I said that :S must've been late at night or something. That comment was ages ago thanks anyway, that was embarassing >.<

[skittlepower95]

@StephenTearle we all have our moments.

@skittlepower95 Tell me about it XD Sun becoming a commet? :S sounds like a super villain plot, could imagine myself in some obsurd sci fi adventure as an evil villain trying to turn the sun into a icy rock!

[skittlepower95]

@StephenTearle you could expose the hydrogen that the sun consists of to temperatures just above 0 kelvin to achieve super fluidity, assuming its mass creates enough gravity to hold it together the sun could become a cold mass that creates comets.

stopping the thermo nuclear fusion would also be a massive leap only achievable by a villain in a cartoon

[StephenTearle]

Lovely! Is that a ring nebula? behind the commet.

[King007Bond]

yes the ring nebula in the constelation lyra

[StephenTearle]
