BREAKING Comet heading towards the sun!!!!!!!

Can´t get spaceweather to load...

So we're doomed, right?

spaceweather is down
?

If you can't acces spaceweather it's normal they seem to be having some connectivity issues now.

It's kind of slow.

It was discovered by a chinees comet hunter bo zhou.

For the movie i recommend going to soho directly because their link to the coronograph is slow too.

Anyway i checked and it's real their seem to be a comet heading directly to the sun and it should brighten a bit!

Major doom, spaceweather is down!

happens what like ten times a year

Spaceweather down as soon as story apeears on glp what a surprise.

cool, doom confirmed by chinese astronomer.

I know it's kind of very slow to no connectivity at all.

But a few minutes earliyer i managed to see the footage and the article about it as it is the headline.

Here is the link for the movie although i don't if it will load properly since it comes from spaceweather.

says down

looks like overload, i get a little response but nothing more.

I don´t think the 20 guys who clicked this thread when i came in brought spaceweather down...

are comets hitting the sun common or rare?

The fuck..I posted a same thread 3 hours ago. Anyway.

Thanks, this one loaded. Cool, i like sundivers.

Dunno i remember seeing one or two by chance when i was viewing some soho movies earliyer this year.

Normally speaking these comets simply vanish into the sun but the possibilty for a small cme is possible afterwards.

However they don't say in spaceweather how big it will get so it's anyones guess.

OMG he´s right!!!

Hey hey easy there!

That tadpole is a doomed comet. Updates will be posted as the view improves.

Good old GLP effect.

Let´s hope SOHO doesn´t ruin the show by only updating all two hours, as they always do when something interesting happens.

SW is up again btw.

Don't know but i remember seeing a few reports for 2010 i think it would be fair to assume something like 5 a year or maybe more.

Asteroids are common i think to hit the sun because of the suns gravity but comets i have no idea.

I wonder if they will be able to put a size of this comet is it possible in such a short time frame?

bunch of stuff flying by

True that.

Let's hope it does brighten a bit.

Some people over there didn't lose their time posting it on you tube....

Ah, thanks OP :)
