INCOMING COMET: NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft has discovered another comet plunging toward the sun. The last time this happened on Jan. 4th, the comet was destroyed, and history could repeat itself later today. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has a good view of the comet's death plunge: movie, labels. Stay tuned for updates.

Will O save the sun or the comet? That’s the quandary.

I just went outside and looked at the sun.
Didn’t see anything. Still can’t.

The last time this happened on Jan. 4th, the comet was destroyed, and history could repeat itself later today. So, it's apparently possible that a comet, “plunging toward the sun,” can go through the sun somehow unscathed?

LOL.
Separately, there's a FR "Classy Green-eyed Blonde" meme associated with looking at the sun (for hosts).

Are there any other possible outcomes?

Let's see; the sun is a giant nuclear furnace & a comet is a speeding chunk of space ice. What will happen? What will happen?

How fast do Comets travel?
I just think it’s kind of Strange for 2 Comets in the same month to be headed for the sun?
But maybe not...
