If the comet is icy, wouldn't it melt, evaporate or explode LONG BEFORE hitting the surface of the sun?

depends on comets composition, this one is huge so prob has a melt rock core

As of now, it's been an hour since any updates from Nasa. What are they hiding?

Anyone have a picture newer than 12:48 UC?

Normally, the sun would be lashing out large at such an object..

Why doesn't it?
 Quoting: Gorgol


The sun is just sitting there with its mouth open. Expect a large solar burp after lunch.
 Quoting: -Haun-


Will there be indigestion? That is the question!
 Quoting: bigD111


Well, the sun ate a diving comet last week without much burping nor belching. This one incoming is a bit bigger, but there are already lots of factors in play like coronal holes, the erupting filament, and solar windstreams that it would be hard to tease out earthly effects of this comet hitting the sun from all the rest of the factors.

We will see though in a very short amount of time.

Why do they always block the sun out with thst disc?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71612024




Safety! The Sun is just SO damn bright, that if you were to even look at a fax copy of an image of it without that disc protection, it would sear a hole straight through your head with a 9,000C laser beam.

Looks like a lot of pics of comet 252P/Linear being the closest to us right now. It might be that one flying into the sun right now.

The Kreutz group of sungrazing comets

Sungrazing comets have been observed for many hundreds of years. In the late 1880's and early 1890's, Heinrich Kreutz studied the possible sungrazing comets which had been observed until then and determined that some were sungrazers and some were not. He also found that those which were indeed sungrazers all followed the same orbit. That is, they were all fragments of a single comet which had broken up. It is probable that the original comet, and its fragments, have broken up repeatedly as they orbit the sun with a period of about 800 years. In honor of his work, this group of comets is named the Kreutz sungrazers.
As far as I know, there is no definition of a sungrazing comet. Also, no comets have ever been seen to hit the solar surface called the photosphere. No asteroids have been seen to hit the sun either. The Kreutz sungrazers come within about 50,000 km (perihelion distance of 0.005 AU) of the solar surface. Thus, sungrazing comets just pass through the solar atmosphere. For that matter, all known comets pass through the sun's atmosphere, because the sun's atmosphere -- the corona -- extends way, way beyond Pluto. (We don't yet know where the corona ends, but we may actually know in just a few years. One of the Voyager spacecraft will get to the boundary eventually!) We only know about a comet when it becomes active. The reason a comet becomes active is because it is heated by the Sun. The distinct tails form because of the influence of the Sun, by radiation and by the solar wind.

A popular misconception is that sungrazing comets cause solar flares and CMEs (coronal mass ejections). While it is true that we have observed bright comets approach the Sun immediately before CME's/flares, there is absolutely no connection between the two events. The sungrazer comets -- in fact all comets -- are completely insignificant in size compared the Sun. Even the brightest Kreutz comets observed by LASCO are believed to be no more than tens of meters in diameter (compared to the diameter of the Sun, which is roughly 1,390,000,000 meters!).
