Talk about a snowball's chance in hell!
Cannonball
Rest in pieces. On Sunday morning, a massive chunk of comet was spotted crashing into our fiery Sun — and unsurprisingly, video of the incident looks catastrophic for the ill-fated snowball., the Sun-diving incident was captured on camera by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. In the clip, the cosmic snowball is seen charging towards the colossal star — but sadly, it's fair to say the comet disintegrated inside the ultra-hot star.
"The doomed comet was almost certainly a 'Kreutz sungrazer,' a fragment from a giant comet that broke apart many centuries ago," astronomer Tony Phillips wrote for."A swarm of these fragments orbits the sun, and every day at least one gets too close and disintegrates." THE COMET DID NOT SURVIVE: As with most sun-diving comets, this one did not come out the other side of the Sun after its nearest approach to the Sun . 🙁
