I don't see it. Maybe my computer is too fast.

I am sorry, but I have no damn clue what that that video is ... The sun is in the center?

The object (couldn't find it in the video, so just guessing) could have become visible suddenly because it could have emerged from behind a star. Or its light could have been distorted, making it appear to have come out of 'nowhere' and impact the sun.

PS, wrong forum

It is the center, I dont see the comet hitting, but there is alot of intresting thing to see. One is Saturn, very visable in the right side. You can see alot of things moving, very cool thanks.

If you look at the 4.30 position (315 degrees), starting at 18:18, halfway between the sun and the outer circumference, you will see an object come out of nowhere then impact the Sun...

i see what your talking about, but I can't tell when it impacts. It does kind of look like a meteor or a comet though. Good find.

Woa, wish I could slow it down! Want off this ride, don't like it too much.
Is it just me, or did it seem a little fast and shaky?

I saw Saturn though!

Pretty cool.

Ok I see it now, although I don't think it's really that big of a deal. Wasn't very big. Could have been an asteroid.

I think this thread needs to be in Space Exploration though.

Its hard to tell, I wish I could see it frame by frame. Everything moves to fast. The astroid could have easly gone behind the sun. Look at all the Sun explosions/Flares, there are alot in this short time.

It appears to be a small man in a red, yellow and blue outfit toting a bag of missile-like objects....

wait, what if it did a slingshot thing, going around the sun, and the got hurled at earth?
becuase of the timeing and stuff, it seems impossible for it to do so, but what if it is the apocolisp!?!?!?!?!?! that would mean that it IS going to happen in 2012!!!!
sorry, i got2go, i just wet my self, brb

If you look at the video and watch and stop at 03.42 you see something comming from right under.

Nobody's getting my Superman IV reference, are they?

Incredible video...there is quite a flare up when the object impacted or passed close (hard to tell, as the sun is obscured) though....

Interesting...

You need to look at the C3 images.

What ever it was it had a effect on the sun. Im not so sure that it was small though, it looked like it could be similar to the size of the earth. The sun is HUGE!!

I got the reference, but I got to the tread too late to let you know about it. But the next time you make a reference to the WORST Superman movie ever, I am going to have to hit you with soemthing large and blunt. Like a baseball bat. Or my car.

Cool little find. Though, I don't think that's the ISS, Sgt. Just my opinion.

It can't be an ISS its too big. I mean that thing is larger than saturn is in that picture. It's probably just a flaw
