I am indeed convinced of the connection, and fascinated by the images. Stared at the last few images for the last hour, and flabberghasted by the
immense power of the our universe. Thanks! Xenongod

I had already spoken about this in 11May 2011(see the story at space weather 12may) and 5 July 2011 (notice in the 5 of July impact it is missing 6
hours of vídeo after impact. )
My. Aren't we capable of carrying a reasonable discussion?
The CME originated on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. Also the opposite side of where the comet entered the corona.
From STEREO A, which is looking at the side of the Sun about 90º to the the right of what SOHO sees.
Here the beginning of the CME can be seen at the 1 o'clock position. Note that the white ring is where the surface of the Sun is. Did it really begin
right after the "impact"?
Here the CME is more developed, again, on the opposite side of the Sun.
Sun diver comets do not survive long when they approach the Sun.
