Someone else has noticed: http://www.universetoday.com/89433/did-a-comet-hit-cause-an-cme-on-the-sun/ "(see vid. -T)This amazing video from the SOHO mission (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) shows a sun-diving comet hitting the solar surface on October 1, 2011 and unexpectedly a huge explosion occurs shortly after. Are the two events related? Probably not, but solar scientists don’t know for sure. The region where the CME originated was on the opposite side of the Sun from the comet hit, so that is very great distance. Scientists say there is no known mechanism for comets to trigger a CME." <more> Harrumph
