NASA captures comet smashing in to the Sun

NASA released this stunning video of a huge comment smashing in to the Sun. Though NASA states that you can't actually see the comet hit the Sun (the impact is blocked out by the red occulting disk that allows the other structures in the Sun's corona to be seen) the ensuing explosion gives a pretty good idea of what's going on.

The Sun's position is indicated by the white circle in the video.
