The First Ever Video Of A Comet Crashing Into The Sun

Until the early morning of July 6 this year no-one had ever managed to capture footage of a comet colliding with the sun.

 

But three whole seconds of on-the-spot action from Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory and all that has changed.

so while comets hitting the sun are cool, this is not the first picture/video of such an event. yet another example of a non-scientific media hype. :nono: i have watched several such strikes this year alone at spaceweather.com & a short search finds similar events recorded back to 1998. it may be this is the first recorded by Nasa's relatively new Solar Dynamics Observatory. :read:
