Until the early morning of July 6 this year no-one had ever managed to capture footage of a comet colliding with the sun.

But three whole seconds of on-the-spot action from Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory and all that has changed.

so while comets hitting the sun are cool, this is not the first picture/video of such an event. yet another example of a non-scientific media hype. :nono: i have watched several such strikes this year alone at spaceweather.com & a short search finds similar events recorded back to 1998. it may be this is the first recorded by Nasa's relatively new Solar Dynamics Observatory. :read:

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
