There was no reason to publicize it. It was just another sungrazer comet, to small to be detectable until it got close enough to the sun for it to appear in the coronographs.
Was another thread really necessary?edit on 10/6/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)

torn apart or vaporized before making contact. Does anyone have any ideas?

In none of the images can the comet be seen "impacting" the Sun. The "impact" did not cause the CME.
You seem to be missing a lot.

That "interaction" seems to have been very one sided.

There are some high quality videos there but a youtube version is also available.

Oh well. Sorry for the redundancy.
It's just that the way it was worded on spaceweather.com made it sound like the comet actually had some affect on the corona.
The consequence of the impending impact is unknown, but considering the apparent mass and speed of the impactor, the body’s plunge into the sun will likely spawn flares, sunspots and perhaps multiple CMEs.

@1:30 that is what is claimed.
if so, what are the implications? considering NASA discovered the Comet Friday (the very day After NEO Conference), it Impacts Sun Next Day and it holds back SOHO footage till after weekend? Hope for early warnings Null hence forth? sure looks it, by this tell-tale example!
"only after huge pressure over the weekend, finally spaceweather.com came out and said ohh, it was just a coincidence"
"NASA is simply trying to protect (the causality of?) this dirty-snowball comet model, which doesn't work"
to me, that rubs in the fact that NASA either can't predict and/or come clean about imminent dangers of imact in our neighborhood, be it the Earth itself or moon or the Sun.
so, lust imagine or infer what else they already know, but aren' yett telling?
