I gave 2 links showing what it was hitting the sun.... judging by the debate on here people aren't even looking at links, just making up a few fairy tales as to what it may be.
Here are the links again, please look at them......... it was NOT Pluto, Not Elenin....... just a "comet" hitting the sun. It has happened before, it will happen again.
Links:

Please check out some facts before you start blaming it on Elenin..............
And Please use links off of the spaceweather site.
1. What is a Comet?
Comets are small, fragile, irregularly shaped bodies composed of a mixture of non-volatile grains and frozen gases. They usually follow highly elongated paths around the Sun. Most become visible, even in telescopes, only when they get near enough to the Sun for the Sun's radiation to start subliming the volatile gases, which in turn blow away small bits of the solid material.

Got any NASA pics or footage of Elenin? Links please fellah!
I think you're confusing me with a gopher.
Besides, why would I have any pictures of Elenin? You think I am holding out? Part of my point (if I am even understanding YOUR point is) there aren't any photos of Elenin. Before, after and since.
You have completely and amazingly boggled my mind. I think it's time for your nap.

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
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.

The word was expected. There were hopes but no expectations.
Your first source.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.
From your second source.2
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."
Your third source.
3
Early October should be the best time to see it - 5th-6th magnitude, just before dawn (possibly naked-eye if we're lucky)
Your forth source; I don't know where Ray Villard got the information that Elenin "should" be visible but since he used a commonly used and mislabled image of it I doubt his source was reliable.
The images are not from SOHO.
