Did NASA Just Catch a Comet Crashing Into the Sun?

James Kaufman, World News Report, today, July 6, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. SOHO films the death of a sun-grazing comet, along with two large, what must be backside normal mass ejections. The solar system has one less comet to worry about. The dirty snowball melted away yesterday as it plunged into the Earth's outer atmosphere. Chronographs on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, better known as SOHO, witnessed the comet's final moments, as seen here. In this SOHO clip, no peak disk covers the Sun. Blocking its glare to produce an artificial eclipse, this allowed SOHO's digital cameras to see the comet around 500,000 kilometers from the surface of the sun. This allows all of us to watch as this comet nears our star and slowly burns up as it enters the atmosphere Around our star, the comet is a Kreutz Sun Grazer. A family of comets, which are fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet over 1,000 years ago, SOHO has discovered thousands of these Kreutz, sun-grazing comets, almost all of them disintegrating near the sun. Comets are icy dirt balls that orbit the sun. Comets are made of ice and dust, while asteroids are made of rock. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits our sun. Asteroids are smaller than planets, but they are larger and smaller objects made of rock that we call meteoroids. Meteoroids are much smaller rocks. A meteor is a meteoroid that impacts or enters Earth's atmosphere. If it burns up upon entering Earth's atmosphere, it keeps the name of a meteor. But the meteor survives its trip through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface of Earth. Its name changes to a meteorite. That said, we are now minus one unnamed comet in our solar system, and I say good riddance. Here is a quick visual of what we just discussed by the American Meteor Society.
