Has anyone found any update on this??

I would think it is not coincidence if you think that energy is always conserved. A heavy comet traveling at high speeds has a tremendous amount of energy. That energy has to go somewhere and as the suns heat is used to disintegrate the comet that’s also a lot of energy.

You would think it might have some effect on the sun right?

Dear Sir,

And next time we make our move (???)…. we shall inform you….. You might also witness juices flying off on EIT304 images…. Now that will be a real CME….

However the flares attached being reported lately are just due our interaction with the others down here…..

And don’t worry, these little events ain’t ever killed anyone…. maybe every star (person/ family down here) has similar experiences….. But I get bored being watched by strangers in the heavens above….

Thanks

Thank you Phil. As a person who believes in certain aspects of the Electric Universe/Plasma Cosmology principles, it is refreshing that you made the statement that it is worth looking into a possible correlation. I have looked at many videos of this sort of occurrence, and it does appear at first glance that there may be a correlation. However, I would hope that professionals will be able to study it more and see if the correlation is real or imaginary.

Pardon me, Sir. I’ve spotted my first typo.

Still, it’s worth looking into, at least to build up a statistical case on way or the other.

Also, between the SOHO and STEREO links, there’s a missing comma.

Electro magnetic waves change prior to an explosion/event, my thoughts would indicate that… in the system the commet was both influnced by the change, and part of the change, and in the end both the sun and the commet were effected… in quite a grand manner. The effects of commets on any object in space depends on multiple facts, mass, compostion, and course…

Are you also not aware ?…. that little things that crawl up into home yours are there to hurt you…. and do things dirty to you & your family….. Just keep your home/work-place clean from all pests…..

It was not just co-incidence….. many beings were bothering us after the SOHO satellite feed was left in the public domain…. But normally we don’t hurt little beings….. But there was much mayhem in the year 2005-2008…. and we switched over to the little help from propane torch, vacuum cleaner & pest control….. and you don’t see much activity now….

But then people are still blind & bad….. most sent us bad vibes & still do….. and most now live with corrupt mind….. but then we too exist….. and figured out a way to save ourselves…. It is still about pestilence….. and staying away from alien (non-human) species to save your soul & lives……

Now you folks must warn others not to say bad things about us ever….. or they might get hurt in the defensive program…. but must blame themselves for indulging in unprovoked star wars…..

And yes the solar thing heats up the planet earth, coz even I have to work….. But then I have the first right to exist, being the first citizen of the solar system…..

I am working out something….. to switchover to idle activity, so that my activity does not cause global warming or whatever…… but then people have been programmed not to listen ever…. Most take pride in the Gods (Ghosts of the Dead)….. and some even sing JESUS LIZARD **** THE SUN, but why ?….. people from other faith are no better….. they too raise them & fire them at everyone in sight….. and NASA planning to crash a bus into the sun, why ?…..

Are they aware that their cheap LCROSS mission has scarred a women down here….. the stars up there are just our third-eye/inner consciousness shining up there…..

I do feel like suing them…. but it was easy to forgive…..

before it could have tantra sex with the sun….. and cause CME……

Did I do something wrong ?….. Did I hurt anyone ?…. Maybe I just saved myself….

If you can clearly see the comet approach the sun and, if it did not hit the sun, why then would you not see the comet return from behind the sun?

Criticisms of the Electric Universe people are a little premature. Your analysis of the event makes several assumptions, we must keep in mind, that in the Electrical perspective we are not just dealing with two masses, but two electrically charged bodies connected by a plasma. One assumption that the author is making is that all comets are composed of the same material. A comet high in metal could produce different results than one dominated by carbon or another non metallic element. Another reason for the disparity could be that the comets had traditionally had their home at different regions of the solar system and thereby been charged differently.

Given these factors, any criticism of the Electric Universe proponents is both ill-informed and misguided, by not considering these electric properties, and making broad generalizations of the objects under study…. Could be considered “bad astronomy”

With all the facts pointing to there being no interaction, and much discussion centered around the comet, perihelion, the occultation disk, and the timing, keep in mind that the CME itself is well on the way outward from the sun before you even see it. If you trace it backwards the 1 1/2 diameters to the solar surface, it’s very plain to see that the two events are unrelated.

In this case it was obviously related for some reason. The reason is the question, not if it was related or not. Everything is not coincidence just because it doesn’t fit your preconceived limited notions.

Yeah, I agree, Phil. CMEs happen quite often, and comets hitting the Sun aren’t very rare either. It makes sense that, eventually, they’ll happen at roughly the same time. So, coincidence. But still really cool.

Related question: Do these comets have any effect on the Sun at all? The impacts we’ve witnessed on Jupiter left quite noticeable and relatively long-lasting scars. Or is the Sun just too big and the photosphere too thin and turbulent?
