Ok ATS astronomers, chime in as to whats up here, I have no idea, but it looks big...

No doom and gloom here, just really want to know what this will/could do...Will this cause a CME?

Suggestion - never get "news" from youtube videos.

Okay, so I found mention of it on spaceweather.com The comet burned up before it struck the sun on the 5th of July. Nothing happened.

No BS. And not unusual. There was a comet.
Since its launch, more than 2,000 comets have been discovered with SOHO. This was most likely to have been a Kreutz group comet as are most of them.

Yeah, I know, I corrected myself after I saw it on spaceweather.com. SOHO has indeed been a vaulable tool. Thanks.
