I've seen videos of comets entering the sun and there have been no CME's or flares.
So, it only happens...sometimes.
Why my friend?

There is enough of a coincidence with this that many space organizations are starting to investigate it. I read about it on the NASA site and the Space weather site. It doesn't always happen, but with technology, they can find out what is causing it to happen so often. Maybe it has something to do with the composition of the comet. In a couple of years I expect to see a lot more science about this coming from these organizations. Their awareness was actually increased by comments from people on their sites around the world I guess, that is what I read somewhere anyway. Give the scientists time, they will figure it out and possibly be able to predict CMEs in the future.

I was looking at lasco c2 and c3 this morning and noticed the comet hitting the Sun on c3. That looked like a pretty massive pulse from such a small comet. Any idea why?
