Representatives of NASA released images from May 10-11, 2011,
which is seen as a giant comet crashes into the Sun (see а photos).
With the SOHO spacecraft was capture in detail the entire process of collision
comets with the Sun. Orbiting observatory SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) is used to
Observing the Sun and the study of processes occurring on Sun, using this space
apparatus was opened around 1500 original solar comets. As said the representative of NASA - this comet
was opened
well-known amateur astronomer from Belarus Sergey Shurpakov. This comet is a fragment of superkomet,
divided into small pieces about 2000 years ago. Astronomers suspect the comet was part of the so-called Kreutz
family of comets. Kreutz comets are comets in orbits that approach within a few hundred thousand miles of the Sun.
They are named after 19th century astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who first demonstrated that such comets were related.
On our planet in the coming days may fall severe magnetic storms, despite the fact, that the collision occurred
a week ago, the main emission of charged particles was not directed toward Earth, but due to the fact, that the Sun now
is in the active phase of the 11-year Solar cycle, in the coming days possible new solar eruption.
