Would it be possible to strike the Sun with a man made object and have a effect?

Also I'm not sure you can even 'touch' the sun with anything, it doesn't have a solid landmass, just varying degrees of hot stuff (technical term that). Any missile or object would either just slowly vapourise or get crushed assuming it could withstand the heat.

Awesome the idea has already been a movie.

A sequel with dirty snowballs.

Maybe some stuff from space-balls that was a good one too.

Did Sunshine make any money, I could use some...

And a few sites listed in post where you can get recorded data in original post.

Just my thought, with highly advanced technology (I mean centuries ahead of us) I think it could be achieved. However I believe it would involve something far more advanced than a conventional weapon; something to detonate on or in the sun and damage it. Could it use an effect that causes the sun to lose its ability to create fission and produce energy?

No idea how it would be achieved but I can honestly picture someone developing a way to shut down a star or disrupt its system.

Not what I was after just a large CME like the one yesterday. It was on the far side of the Sun and still rocked our protection system.

If it was facing us on the magnetic connection point the effects might be transmitted so fast, there could be no reaction to it.

There is lots of information in the links I provided in the original post.

Thanks, for there actual consideration.

So where is the evidence that a comet hit the sun and caused those eruptions? I just saw a video and the aforementioned eruptions (on the backside of the sun), but no comet impact. In fact, since it's the backside of the sun, we can't see what caused it anyways. So why are you declaring it a comet?

a reply to: Krazysh0t

Watch the "suspicious observer's" link the OP posted. You'll see not one sun diving comet, but two!! Good times, but not really a big deal since there's a sun diving comet seemingly once every month.

a reply to: PinealJockey

Ok I see it now. Thanks I had to watch again.

Well if the Large Hadron Collider would produce a black hole..
That would have a effect on the sun for sure
But if we should observe it, we would have to be on the other side of our galaxy, or in a protective time bauble that we perhaps don't own yet

And we did try to blow the moon up, so I think if they blow the sun up, and are successful then its probably the oil industry trying to make sure we rely on oil forever.

I barely understand what you're saying, but as for the statement re: blowing up the moon, could you link this with some proof, as I have no recollection of anyone ever 'trying to blow up the moon'.

Comets hit the Sun (or at least fall into the Sun) on a regular basis. That could be why it isn't mentioned in the MSN -- because it really isn't news.

The solar space observatory SOHO sees at least one comet dive into the Sun every couple of days, sometimes one every day. And those are the ones SOHO can see.

CME's also occur relatively regularly, ranging from every 5 or 6 days during solar minimum to every 3 or 4 days during solar maximum. Perhaps CMEs are related/caused by sun-diving comets, but there is no known correlation. There have been sun-diving comets that have NOT been followed by a CME, so it's possible that CMEs and sun-divers are BOTH just regular -- and unrelated -- events.

Did Comet Cause Solar Explosion? Hardly, Experts Say

If the only evidence for a correlation that you have is that sometimes a CME occurs after a sun-diving comet on some occasions, then you may be guilty of the fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc (which roughly means "event 'B' happened after event 'A', therefore event B must have happened because of event A").

Must have failed terribly in my request for opinions; "Is it possible for us to build a dirty snowball and deliver it to the Sun."?

Can a man made device effect the Sun?

Somewhere I read of testing Radar and Laser effects on the Sun.

Could we put anything out there that would effect it? EMP?

I was addressing your assertion that sun-diving comets perhaps caused CME eruptions. ATS member 'Krazysh0t' asked you about two sun-diving comets that you mentioned, and you responded with a video that purports a possible connection between the comets and the CMEs.

The point of my post was to say that there is NO known correlation between sun-divers and CMEs. I don't think something as small as a comet (even considering its kinetic energy) would affect the Sun in that manner...

...So (similarly) if I don't think something like a comet would have a noticeable effect on the Sun, then I don't think a man-made object could affect the Sun, either.

Nothing man can make in the next 1,000 years.

Somewhere I read of testing Radar and Laser effects on the Sun.

More information would be appreciated.

Nothing we could put out there in the next 1,000 years.

You could strike the sun with the entire planet EARTH, and the effect would likely be minimal. Just judging from size alone.

So, no, I don't think any man-made object would have any effect whatsoever on the Sun.

"There still remains zero evidence for a link between sungrazing comets and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can't be better explained than by simple coincidence," Karl Battams of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory wrote in a blog post Tuesday (Oct. 4)

I like this logic, simple. Karl Battams might be cool?
U.S. Navy Research Lab Worker Reveals ISON holds Gov Secrets

Specifically, and according to Karl Batttams, Comet Ison possesses far greater 'secrets' being withheld from the general public. Secrets as to what Comet Ison may likely bring albeit 'directly' ( e.g. atmospheric debris collisions or pollution on Earth ) and/or 'indirectly' ( e.g. solar-dynamic coronal mass ejection flare radiations, telecommunication interruptions, and/or electricity grid infrastructure interferences ) 'striking details' on-to, in-to and/or amidst Earth, but 'officially' no one's coughing-up 'clear evidence' but Karl Battams' public tips.

Yes, I think since the sun has been so successful at what it does we should have Congress tax it into oblivion.

They should, however, take that vote from its surface.

Why couldn't we make a dirty snow ball?

Think the idea that a comet can have a effect on the Sun is still open.

Would like to have a look around a bit and see what others may think.

Yes, it is hard to make a "dirty snowball". Where do you get the dirt from? The snow? From Earth? How do you get it off of Earth? We're talking several millions of tons here.

It is also hard to drop one into the Sun after making it. Not that it would do anything if we did.

The "mini black holes" the LHC could produce would have no effect on earth much less the Sun!! They are extremely tiny and would not last long. They'd evaporate.
