What an astounding and memorable photograph.
That poor comet! Uh, where exactly is it? |

I think the pic above is just a stock image of the sun, not an photo of the comet event.
Here is the video of the actual event, showing the comet evaporating as it gets closer to the sun: http://www.space.com/12188-comet-death-dive-sun.html I've no idea if the video is actual speed or shown speeded up. |

That is not a stock image of the sun, it is a still from a different video, from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EDTP13Lc3w&hd=1 (if the link is bad, the title of the video to search for is: NASA's SDO sees a comet streak across the face of the Sun! ) |
So, if the comet disintegrated over a 15 minute period, then why does the video (Tanalia's) show it going so stinkin' fast?
Still, pretty interesting stuff. |
Thanks for the assists there people.:thumb2:
