Giant Comet Hits Sun Causing Huge CME

Posted: 02 Oct 2011 02:39 PM PDT

A massive CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) has been triggered on the Sun by a huge comet. The Comet collided with the Sun Oct 2. Comets constantly hit the sun but this on is way larger and potentially more dangerous than normal. The CME will take days to reach Earth and it is not known exactly how strong it will be, We are pretty well protected from CME’s by our atmosphere but Scientists have warned that communication satellites are in danger. If a CME was big enough it could actually knock out the power grid. The Sun as been especially active lately. One of the major Sun monitoring sites was blacked out when this happened, leading to much speculation as to the potential dangers from this collision.
