Comet C/2009 G1 ~ Total Crossing April 2009

This video covers the very close transit of a brand new type of comet that is not designated from any class or family. Not much is known about the size of this object though it seems to be rather large . It also has come in much like comet lulin

Looking at the COR1 data it looks as if this actually skimmed along the outer Corona of the Sun. A very close call
While all the planets and most of the other objects in the solar system circle the sun counterclockwise, Just as before with comet Lulin , Both of these circle clockwise,They are essentially going backwards through the solar system but on the same plane as the planets Now it locates very low in the evening, and it will be not observable in April. But in the Northern Hemisphere, it will appear in the morning sky at 11 mag in early May, then it keeps observable in good condition while fading. In the Southern Hemisphere, it had been locating in good position until discovered in mid March, however, now it is not observable. It will appear in the morning sky in late May when it fades down to 12.5 mag.

Could this be what people are taking pictures of the last 2 days?

In the Southern Hemisphere maybe.This was very close to hitting the Sun. I have not been told of any reports from the Northern Hemisphere, Nor have I seen any images as of yet

Its an interplanetery ship recharging its plasma coils

;-)

the 'iceball' theory of comets is somewhat implausible in many cases as any 'ice' would be well and truely atomised that close to the sun.
