I feel his presence. Hide, you fools!
Phage, Chadwick and Weed seem to have either telepathy or a buzzer system hooked up to certain key words. Because trust me, I don't feed them. They come scavenging!
(Right Phage, buddy o'mine?)
But in fairness, they present the balance (although I tend to think they're a little off-balance at times but....) without them, we'd all be in agreement where maybe, just maybe....we might be wrong. So at times (except for chemtrails) it's good to get an opposing point of view.
So they are a bitter-sweet presence here on ATS.
(how'd I do?)

Questions:
1.) How far is the sun away from us?
2.) How fast does a comet travel?
3.) How long did the comet or whatever that was take to impact the sun?
Answers:
1.) Approximately 93 MILLION miles from earth
2.) 40 miles per second (at it's closest point to the sun) A missle travels 14,000 mph.
3.) 13 seconds
Hypothesis:
BS. It was probably a missle that hit an object, in space...giving the illusion, as if it hit the sun. Correct me if i'm wrong....but the angle the U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Object) was traveling, and the way the explosion occured, just doesn't make sense. The explosion should have come from the same direction the U.F.O. was traveling....not the opposite side.
Whoa.....slow up.
Where ya going with this?
Please break this down so I can understand.
I understand the math part to a certain degree. It doesn't add up. But I don't understand how you leaped to it being shot down (something I think we're TOTALLY capable of doing, by the way).
I love alternative beliefs!

This post will show how little I know about Astronomy. Here's my question:
In the video, we're viewing the entire Sun, which is HUGE, and probably many thousands of miles of empty space around the Sun. How can an object travel from the edge of the video into the Sun in less than 3 seconds? Can a large object travel at thousands of miles Per Second?!?!
-cwm
That object didn't take "less than 3 seconds" to travel from the edge of the video into the sun. It took 2 days.

The earth's magnetic field, however is becoming more and more depleted by all the chemicals and fossil fuels being burned, leaving the earth and its inhabitants more exposed to these solar flares and CMEs
An interesting theory, do you have a link for it? I have heard numerous theories on the magnetic field and would be interested to read that scientific link.Including a pole shift as the source of the depletion of the magnetic field.

Well....it just seems to me....that the sun is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far, for ANY object to hit it within 20 seconds, of it being spotted. In order to reach the sun, in that amount of time...it would have had to be traveling at almost 5 million miles PER SECOND. HAHAHAHAHAH That's pretty darn fast.

A bright comet headed right towards the Sun and disintegrated (Oct. 2, 2011). It was a sungrazing comet of the type known as a Kreutz sungrazer and a particularly bright one at that. There is not a definitive orbit calculated for it yet, but most sungrazing comets have orbits that take them very close to the Sun without actually quite hitting it. However, getting so close almost always destroys these comets, so we see them going in, but not going back out.The question of whether a sungrazing comet can somehow trigger a coronal mass ejection is an intriguing one. So far, the feeling is that apparent relationship between some comets and some mass ejections is simply one of co-incidence. At this stage of the solar cycle, the Sun is producing many mass ejections--in fact there were several earlier in the day--and it probably just happened by chance that one of them was around the same time as the approach of the comet. Some researchers have been looking for a more direct relationship, but nothing as yet has come out of these efforts.
There you have it folks, straight from NASA and SOHO website.
No conspiracy here.
You always believe in everything NASA says???
But if I know, and YOU know that they lie their a**** off because they are an agency submitted to corporate-military interest and by this reason they NEVER would tell anything, to let people thinking about the possibility of that thing have been a secret weapon, an alien device or a rogue planet, IMO is quite awkward keep saying that it was a comet and that CME had nothing to do with it. That's something that only the shills of NASA and US government, would say.

Well, new kid, maybe that's your problem. You seem to think that ATS is a "conspiracy site". Some sort of exclusive playground for nutty ideas.

Until your thread came along, it was a comet.
But now it seems you've managed to muddy the waters with BS and rhetoric.
Nice work.
SUNDIVING COMET: A comet is diving into the sun today. Discovered on Sept. 29th by a group of four independent comet hunters (M. Kusiak, S. Liwo, B. Zhou and Z. Xu), the icy visitor from the outer solar system is evaporating furiously as it approaches the hot star. SOHO (the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) is monitoring the death plunge:
The doomed comet appears to be a member of the Kreutz family. Kreutz sungrazers are fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet many centuries ago. They get their name from 19th century German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who studied them in detail. Several Kreutz fragments pass by the sun and disintegrate every day. Most, measuring less than a few meters across, are too small to see, but occasionally a big fragment like this one attracts attention.

I thought cmes don't create earthquakes though. That was what has been said on so many of the solar flare threads anyway.
Spot on. Plate tectonics do that all by themselves.
You know...I was really giving you props until this post.
Plate tectonic move all by themselves.
Really? Nothing influences them at all?
They just spontaneously start moving whenever they feel like it...is that what you're saying?
So therefore, cause and effect simply does not apply to this function?
I may not be the brightest when it comes to science but I am certain no one knows what causes earthquakes.
Be it the Moon, the Sun, other planets. Heat expansion. Cold constriction. HAARP. Off shore drilling etc etc etc.
So please. You were doing SO well. Don't blow it nowedit on 3-10-2011 by Human_Alien because: typos

The chances are high that a comet will strike the Sun. A lot of gravity there.
It happens fairly often.

The chances are low that a comet will strike the Earth. Hasn't happened for quite a while, since the Tunguska event...possibly.

Start here. It shows the current relative locations of the STEREO spacecraft and Earth.
stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov...
STEREO A(head) is looking the "right" hemisphere of the Sun which is not visible from Earth. From the images I posted earlier it is clear to see that the large CME was not Earth directed.
The comet passed between the Earth and the Sun (much closer to the Sun) and was moving "up" through the plane of the solar system. So it didn't really go "past" Earth, it went by "under" Earth.

This is logical, but do you know how hot the sun is? It makes the burn up on entry to our planet look like child's play. The comet entering the sun could possibly have added to building energy by a son spot which caused it to erupt a bit sooner than it would have otherwise. I don't know. Either way, it hit the sun and not us. That's a plus! I think.
