Wow an alien suicide maybe some extraterrestrial psicopath that had these people and made it look like a suicide naaaaaah just kidding but wow it’s amazing how close it got
why dont we send our nuclear waste to
@perdion1 Yeah it’s a reader program.
THIS IS A UFO. DISCLOSURE NOW. JOIN THE FUCK NASA ARMY.
I am encouraging extensive research of the Universe. I am encouraging NASA to build as many Space-shuttles as possible. I want more Spaceships out there and I want it NOW. I want more Space Telescopes out there taking advanced photos. We need to pierce to the farthest reaches possible. I want Space-Crafts surrounding the entirety of every planet. I want Photos, Photos, Photos. I want trained experienced Astronauts. I want Clean, 99.9% Safe Lauch Ships.
i dont understand how these things dont burn up well before they even get that close! if its ice it wouldve melted!! also whats in front of the sun at 2:29 it looks massive!
It would be great if a spaceship catches any fragments of comets like the video, because these comets may be older than the other orbiting our solar system.

@tuber33 i saw a link on soho for jhelioviewer, havent checked it out yet, but the screen shots looked high def. Id kinda wish its not due to incompetence, but thst they didnt want people to see something. I dont usually aim for conspiracy, but the latter is rather boring.
@SaxyDan54 As a US tax payer I can say we all pay for NASA.
@bdub232 Ya gets what ya pay fer!
@bdub232 Glad you said it–I was just watching and thinking, if NASA in 2011 can’t get resolution to even rival a old CRT TV, we have major issues. They have phenomenal technology at their disposal–these space shots need to be in HD to see the detail and beauty.
@azenagoddess777 wasnt a Meteor it was a Comet ,,Meteors made of rock…same reason an Ice cube doesnt disappear super fast in boiling water… takes a while for heat tranfer to kill the comet for all we know the Comet was the size of Texas
@86Raxor … LOL !! Yes, I can see the billboards now, “Save Sol, via population control!!”

I am sure you are still amazed, why the atmosphere of the sun is hotter than the surface, let alone why the tail was wagging and why it was brighter than the sun.
Coz it’s all the same reason, the tail was wagging coz it was electrical discharge, the comet was brighter coz it was electrocuting.
it’s called Common science experiment in laboratories, get one! 
WTF is up with video quality? This would have been better in HD or even SD in something better than this crapworthy 350kbps 1997-esque terrible video quality.
Well done Dr. Phillips .As usual more “critics” than authors ,but the history remember the authors ,not the ones..We are waiting for the next …
That Comet got OWNED by our Sun . . . Sun ownage . . . tee hee
What is the temperature of the sun????Can anyone explain to me why this “meteor” didn’t melt being that close to the sun?
The Narrator is Dr. Tony Phillips.
Fickle, fickle…The video is stellar and well done, and the science is fascinating but you need an Academy Award winning narrator too? I have better observations – What are the other 5 moving objects? The brighter one on the bottom left can be Mercury.
See the 2 fuzzy objects, one moving right and the other to the left?
I hear the Wicked Witch of the East crying, “I’m melting, I’m melting!” I felt like I was back in sex ed…. That’s one hot chick you got there sperm!
