It would have kinda sucked. :')

Greenbelt - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured a spectacular image of a comet diving into the sun just as a coronal mass ejection came out on the right side.
On one hand, the universe can be one of shimmering beauty, harmony and order. On the other hand, there can be utter entropy, randomness and sheer coincidences. The latter is what happened between our sun and a comet last week.
According to NASA’s SOHO, a bright comet, most likely from the Kreutz family of comets, which was discovered by amateur astronomer Sergey Shurpakov, slammed into the sun, but as it dove into it a coronal mass ejection blasted out. There is no correlation between the strike and the solar eruption; it was just a coincidence. A coronal mass ejection is when the sun vents massive amounts of plasma.
SOHO spotted the event between May 10 and May 11. “Interestingly, a coronal mass ejection blasted out to the right just as the comet is approaching the sun,” SOHO scientists stated, reports Space.com. “Scientists, however, have yet to find a convincing physical connection between sun-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections.”
NASA officials also explained that they have proof, through the Solar Dynamics Observatory (a spacecraft that monitors the sun), that the solar eruption occurred prior to the collision with the comet.
“Images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory show that the CME erupted before the comet came close enough to the solar surface to interact with strong magnetic fields,” said the officials. This isn’t the first time that our sun has been hit by a comet. In December of last year, the sun was hit by an entire fleet of ice comets that struck into the heart of the sun, notes Fox News.
NASA has repeatedly stated that they cannot find any physical relation between star-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections.

No it is Jack Van Campings fault. The meteor is going to hit saterday at 6 pm. We are doomed.
COMET THATS A COMET!
I think it has something to do with cosmic beer goggles.

It’s just a big ol’ fluffy cloud. :’)
Comet - It will make your teeth turn green
Comet - It tastes like gasoline
Comet - It will make you vomit
So get some Comet and vomit, today
“Welcome home.”
The Universe isn’t so random after all.
If he paraphrases and repeats this a few more times, it might seem even more strained.
Somebody doesn't have a clue about persuasion and the written word.
That last sentence is such utter bullsh!t even I can't believe it.
You might want to see a doctor about that.
>>”There is no correlation between the strike and the solar eruption; it was just a coincidence.” <<
Yeah, right. Who ya gonna b’lieve, us or yer lyin’ eyes?
Well, I guess that it proves that correlation isn’t causation, huh?
>>”NASA officials also explained that they have proof, through the Solar Dynamics Observatory (a spacecraft that monitors the sun), that the solar eruption occurred prior to the collision with the comet.” <<
And the offishul NASA honchos do not believe in and will do anything they can to deny and denigrate the theory of the “electric universe”, which posits that comets have electrical charges that interact with the planets and the sun, among other things.
Since they can’t “see” (or acknowledge) the electrostatic charge of the comet that is interacting with the sun *before* it actually physically hits the corona and which could be the cause of the huge mass ejection of plasma, there has to be “no connection” between the two. Because if they accepted the electrical charges of cometary bodies, they’d have to revise their pet theories of comets being “snowballs” of different flavors of “ice” that is “blown off” the snowball by the solar wind.
Between James Hanson and NASA’s lying about climate, and the cover ups of many things that have been found/seen on Mars by the rovers, I find it hard to give much credence to anything NASA puts out unless it’s confirmed by other ‘non-biased’ parties or experts. Even then, I wonder how much is true.
I believe you are right on target why they need to lie about this.
