Two Comets Slam into Sun

Posted by Cliff on from the solar-belching dept.

NightWulf notes: "CNN has an article about two comets that slammed into the Sun this week, causing it to 'burp.' They have some cool images of collision as well as a quicktime video. Could this have been the cause of the large solar flares that have been occurring this week?" Update: 11/10 03:07 GMT by H : Hah. Cliff's feeling retro I guess, and posted this story from 1998.

    that's utterly lame. i hope these guys don't actually get paid to pick their asses and do nothing all day. or maybe this level of incompetence requires effort.
