Sun diving comets do this alot. Every time the "astronomers" say it's a coincidence.
Comets are like a discharging capacitor in the Sun's radial electric field. Hence the glowing tail and coma. Mass has nothing to do with it, the thing has one trillionth the mass of the Sun if that. It's all about charge. The further the comet has been from the positive Sun, the more negative charge it has built up.
Just more proof of the Electric Universe. .
This is how the mainstream scientists see it:
In fact, SOHO has recorded several instances of comets plunging into the solar corona in “coincidental” association with CMEs. Here we see two comets grazing the Sun followed by a particularly energetic blast from a mass ejection. Another instance of two comets grazing the Sun can be viewed here.
In a headline story, “Twin Comets Race To Death By Fire”, June 5, 1998, ScienceDaily.com reported:
“In a spectacular coincidence, a coronal mass ejection (CME) accompanied by an erupting prominence occurred on the southwest limb of the Sun within hours after the destruction of the comets. The CME and prominence were probably unrelated to the comets, being instead the product of weeks of intense magnetic activity in that region of the Sun”.

Just another "spectacular coincidence" here. Electric Universe predicts these things.

Interesting stuff, never seen anything like this before
One question though, where did we get the idea that the CME is headed towards Earth?

You won't be able to see Elenin.
It was never expected to be visible to the naked eye, even before it fell apart.
1
Original predictions made last winter based on a relatively close approach to Earth on October 16 indicated the comet might have been as bright as 4th magnitude and visible with the naked eye from outer ring suburbs and rural areas.
2
The comet who has been named Elenin, will be brigth enough to be seen with the unaided eye from a dark location when it passes Earth, and will keep the same magnitude for an entire month,
3
Early October should be the best time to see it - 5th-6th magnitude, just before dawn (possibly naked-eye if we're lucky)
4
By late August comet Elenin should be visible to the naked eye as a dim "fuzzy star" with a tail. Over a few weeks the visitor will speed across the spring constellation Virgo and toward Leo on its outbound leg.

For me? This was Eleniin until proven otherwise! ( yeah, that's where I'm going with this, see? )

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.

I think you're smarter than that, so just trolling for flags and stars?
Be cool about it, use better sources. Go get the original stuff from its source.
They are not very good at hiding this if anyone on the Internet can see it whenever they wish
I also am sick of the people pushing absurd notions pretending they actually believe it and calling people names if they use common sense.
The timing of the CME so soon after the comet dove into the sun suggests a link. But what? There is no known mechanism for comets to trigger solar explosions. Before 2011 most solar physicists would have discounted the events of Oct. 1st as pure coincidence--and pure coincidence is still the most likely explanation. Earlier this year, however, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) watched another sungrazer disintegrate in the sun's atmosphere. On July 5, 2011, the unnamed comet appeared to interact with plasma and magnetic fields in its surroundings as it fell apart. Could a puny comet cause a magnetic instability that might propagate and blossom into a impressive CME? The question is not so crazy as it once seemed to be.

Comets are not the size of a planet. What is their average size?
Lets see...
lmgtfy.com...
Looks like an average of about 750 meters to about 20 kilometers or about 20 miles max in size. Hardly even town size forget about planet size.edit on 3-10-2011 by karen61057 because: (no reason given)

*Bold emphasis mine
This mention in SpaceWeather.com's article regarding the comet is fascinating. I know much of the debate around the Elenin comet was that something so tiny could not have a noticeable effect on the Earth or Sun, magnetic or otherwise. But this is suggesting that 2011 has even made some solar physicists rethink some things. Things that perhaps before they would have said were crazy.
It would be awesome if discussions regarding things like this in the future could be a little more civil (regarding the onslaught of fighting & name calling in many of the threads..not this one per se), because this is some fascinating stuff! So much that we don't know or understand and our perception on it changes almost daily.

But Elenin is trending toward the other end of the spectrum. You'll probably need a good pair of binoculars, clear skies, and a dark, secluded location to see it even on its brightest night."
