A little too early to tell but it looks like a comet hit the sun

I was checking the NASA SOHO gallery and saw this.

I'm not sure what this could mean.
Pretty interesting video.

And what of it?
Comets hit the sun all the time.
You want to make a new thread every time it happens?
Why is *this* one so different?

As of October 2008, 1500 Kreutz Sungrazers have been identified.

I heard this morning that one was supossed to hit the sun today. Someone even said that NASA turned off the monitoring system that they had so that we couldn't watch it happen but I don't know how true that is. Regardless, thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed watching the video of it.

So? Does that mean I don't have to go to work tomorrow?

That happens a lot. At least once every few months I would say.

I get videos of them from the 3D Sun, Iphone app.

They’re kind of cool to watch.

That's why I said I'm not sure what this could mean. I just thought I'd share the video because it looks pretty cool. I know comets hit the sun, I've just never seen it on a video before.

No worries, it was just Elenin. Sorry guys, I had to bring that up after the failed predictions from the past few months.
