On Edit; Sorry, my wife sent me out for powdered curry.. The comet had nothing to do with the coronal mass ejection, but it makes for good video..

2. So, a ball of ice gets close enough to the sun to smack into it?

13. Uh, I take it you have never eaten a spicy curry dish....
Highly spicy foods can burn going in, AND coming out...

Not very sexy, at least in my book.
