C/P FROM ADMIN FROM THE SITE OF LINK

"this is the latest compilation of photos. check this out... the sun lets out a burst of energy towards the unknown object, yet the object remains unrelentlessly on path for a collision with the sun later on today. Based on the speed of this object, I would estimate an impact in about 10-11 hours (6-7pm, EST), if not sooner. It should be an awesome evening for sungazing!"

UPDATE!!!!!

OH WAIT-Have a lookie at this,its an ass tur oid
Known as iris7
Its looks like its this object thats in the graph in this link>> [link to www.rasnz.org.nz]

Iris at Opposition in 2009
Iris will be in Sagittarius when it brightens to magnitude 9.5 early in June 2009. It is at opposition on July 4 with a magnitude 8.7. After opposition it fades again back to 9.5 in mid August.

The distance of Iris from the Sun varies between 1.833 and 2.937 AU, so that at the most favourable oppositions the asteroid is about 0.83 AU from the Earth. At the 2009 opposition the distance of Iris from the Sun is 2.58 AU and 1.56 AU from the Earth. So the 2009 opposition is an average sort of affair.

At the poorest oppositions, eg in May 2012, Iris' brightest magnitude is 9.5. At the best oppositions it can be as bright as 6.7. No such opposition will occur in the near future.

Iris's diameter is 200 km. Its orbital period is 3.68 years, the orbit being inclined at 5.527° to the ecliptic.

Iris was discovered in 1847 on August 13 by J R Hinds in London. This was his first asteroid discovery
