Let's hope not...

Surely not due to any impact? The missile would have to have been huge!
Interesting to know what caused it.

"FARSIDE SOLAR ACTIVITY: Over the past two days, NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft has detected two eruptions from an active region just behind the sun's eastern limb. The source of the blasts appears to be old sunspot 1039. The sun's rotation will begin turning the spot toward Earth this week, so there could be some Earth-directed solar activity in the offing."
There is no way to tell at this point what effect the upcoming activity will have on terrestrial radio communications. As always, we recommend visiting spaceweather.com... for movies and updates.
Sunspot 1039 is still on the far side of the solar disc, as observed from Earth, but 1039 is providing scientists with promise of continued activity. NASA’s STEREO-B Spacecraft can “see” regions of Sun that are not yet visible from Earth. What STEREO-B has detected are two eruptions from the 1039 active areas.

Comets/Meteorites would be vapourised before they'd even get to the sun's inner atmosphere (Corona), and the CCD bakeout is normal as any CME event is similar to a EMP here on earth, the Satellite goes in shut-down mode to avoid it being fried (and SOHO losing a multi-million craft in the process.)
Its amazing what you can find by looking at NASA Satellite Information. Image captured of 2 Comets Crashing into the Sun and causing a huge explosion. Here is NASA link soho.nascom.nasa.gov...

Hey, did you notice that blip at 15:27 on 2005/02/23 in the Soho C3 2005 full year video that was posted? I was able to pause it close to when it happened and take a screenshot... Weird no??

As a side note, I hope it hits Earth and wipes out the human species.

Just hit the quote button on his post then copy the [img]hgfhyfhgjh(/img) but using square brackets.
That should do it

The idea that those comets caused the CME is speculation by the person who posted the video on YouTube -- speculation that is not shared by most astronomers.
The people at SOHO think those comets were vaporized before they got to the surface of the sun. The CME could just be coincidental.
