NASA SOHO - Bye Bye Comet (May 11, 2011)
Loading...
Uploaded by LittleSDOHMI on May 16, 2011
SOHO watched as a fairly bright comet dove towards the Sun in a white streak and was not seen again after its close encounter (May 10-11, 2011). The comet, probably part of the Kreutz family of comets, was discovered by amateur astronomer Sergey Shurpakov. In this coronagraph the Sun (represented by a white circle) is blocked by the red occulting disk so that the faint structures in the Sun's corona can be discerned. Interestingly, a coronal mass ejection blasted out to the right just as the comet is approaching the Sun.
Now the question is - did the comet trigger the CME? Scientists, however, have yet to find a convincing physical connection between sun-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections. In fact, analysis of this CME using images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that the CME erupted before the comet came close enough to the solar surface to interact with strong magnetic fields.

This is exactly what it looks like and this is not the first time I have seen it. Watch multiple videos and you will undoubtedly see it again. IMPACT IMPACT IMPACT. It's all about the impacts. It might not look pretty to us, but the evidence is mounting heavily and quickly as we photograph the cosmos. I love it. direct correlation time and time again.

Wow si ese cometa ubiera pasa por la Tierra, ya no existiríamos....
Increible.

Just to say there is a great deal of distance between the sun and the earth, and the earth is an infinitly small target in such a vast space. If you were travelling at the speed of light, you would circle the earth 7½ times in one second. In 1½ seconds you would flash past the moon. But it would take you more than 8 minutes to reach the sun.
