Death of a Comet - UltraBudgie - 10-29-2024
Yesterday comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) plunged into the Sun. Here's is a video:

Quote:Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) is no more.
On Monday (Oct. 28), the comet evaporated as it was heading toward perihelion, the closest point to the sun in its orbit. There were earlier hopes that the comet, officially designated C/2024 S1 (ATLAS), could become a "Halloween treat" visible to the naked eye, but these were ultimately just wishful thinking; astronomers had already begun observing the cosmic snowball beginning to disintegrate earlier this month.

Poor thing. Sad now. ?

Wow, sunglazing can be dangerous! Nice find!

I always think of the electric universe guys when I see these. The two CME's popping off after the comet disappears is pretty neat, apparently that is some kind of electrical interaction.

Funny how people never question comets too closely. And Science, being what Science always does, comes up with their cover-their-ass explanations. Since long-period comets always return to exactly the spot in the heavens from which they appeared,--which is utterly impossible by nature's means alone, we can assume that the souls on that ship, and others that we have observed over the years--but not many, had the occasion to die either by purpose, accident or the call of Nature. It happens to any life despite "the best laid plans of mince and men," and highly advanced ETs.

Not going to lie, this comment hit me hard -- the idea of death and rebirth in the stellar glory, plunging into a star, the magnificent outpouring plumes that SOHO somehow imaged. It got to me man. Started watching movie clips from "The Fountain", with it's amazing story and soundtrack. Bit of a grief spiral. But that's okay. Thank you.
