dont think your going to see much, might look like a fly hitting a car windscreen

I dont see anything resembling a comet in that animation perhaps you could point me to what your talking about ie quadrant or frame #?

nvm i see it now

Will that effect earth by causing solar storm? what is the size of that object ? the given link is not working for me reply to post by Dalke07

Put faster animation you see comet mach easier ..

Bottom right corner, see picture above ..

This comet is not s0 big to cause bigger eruption on Sun ..

Think we have 50% chance for some CME, but some little or medium size CME if appear ..

Is very nice to watch this live, don't expect nothing spectacular ..

Looks to be part of the Kreutz comet group...

What's that big bright dot? Anyone know? Thanks. Has the line streak though it.

it's Mercury.

Which is it? Chad is pointing to it, is that the Comet or is that Mercury. Confusing me now. Thanks.

That picture is not in real time ..

Comet you can see in picture and animation what I post, big dot is Mercury ..

what Chadwickus is showing is the path of kreutz-group comets. In your pic the bright dot is Mercury.

The one with that big white line in the streak right?

chad is not pointing to any comets...

the picture chad posted shows the range in which the set of comets are to be found (light colour path)..and the arrow points to the direction they are traveling

someone corrects me if i'm wrong

Direction is straight and comet is very fast, think he hit Sun at 24 hours from now ..

Yep correct.

Sorry, should have been clearer.

Ah ok. Thanks all. Sorry for confusing everyone. First time I've seen it.

Here is confirmation ..

SUNDIVING COMET : This morning a quartet of amateur comet hunters (M. Kusiak, S. Liwo, B. Zhou and Z. Xu) independently noticed a comet in SOHO coronagraph images. The icy visitor from the icy solar system is diving toward the sun--probably a one-way trip. Kusiak expects the doomed comet to brighten to first magnitude between now and the early hours of Oct. 1st.
