[Utah-astronomy] Comet goes into the Sun

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught a comet passing directly in front of the Sun, the first time this has ever been seen. This is not a perspective effect: the comet really is just above the Sun's surface, and presumably evaporated shortly after these images were taken. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EDTP13Lc3w&feature=player_embedded -- Jay Eads
