OMG Another massive object about to smash into the sun

Morning ATS, Just been checking The latest SOHO Lasco C3 and C2 imagery as I do every morning, entered dates 2011-05-13 and 2011-05-15 and there is another very large object aproaching a collision course with the sun on the part of video dated the 15th at about 5.40 on the video. Same thing as what we saw on the 11th.

Looks like it, nice catch.

yep, looks like we have another Sun Grazer approaching Sol.

Sometimes they travel in packs...

Are there links to the videos if there are any? Seems pretty interesting.

There is some great video for the impact on the 11th, and video of its approach on the 15th. But someone else will have to post, I always have trouble and never managed yet lol. Can anyone help by posting please...

Thank you to everyone above who posted links for me! Shows how nerdy I am I found that amazing.

Stars for everyone

Here is a still picture of the object, I think he is talking about:

Thankyou Chsadwickus, Thankyou WhoDat09, Still educating myself lol.

if a cme happens as this one collides with the sun (like the last one).....i'm going to call shenanagins on the coincidence theory

EDIT : nevermind...they hid the images of the collision. there are 8 hours missing from lasco 2 showing "the impact"

Have seen some interesting things going on around the sun. Just don't understand why NASA or so-called equiptment failure is to blame...
