NASA/ESA SOHO & NASA SDO Comet Meets Sun, October 1, 2011
A comet discovered on Friday September 30, 2011 by an amateur astronomer disintegrated on Saturday October 1, 2011 when it plunged into the Sun. The Corongraph of NASA/ESA's SOHO captured the last few hours of the comet. Very shortly after the comet dove into the Sun a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) exploded. As of current solar scientists do not believe that a comet can trigger a Coronal Mass Ejection - however, the question of if a comet could cause a magnetic instability on the Sun remains and is being studied. On July 6, 2011 the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed a sungrazing comet and it appeared to interact with the plasma and magnetic field as it fell apart. The first two segments in this video are from October 1, 2011 and were observed by NASA/ESA's SOHO spacecraft. The last two segments were captured by NASA's SDO on July 5, 2011.

The LHC - The Large Hadron Collider ( L.H.C )
The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. ( 27km circumference) Year 2008 September 10th, marks the culmination of 20 years of work by over 8000 scientists thousands of engineers, technicians and support staff from over 80 different countries. some critics say that this could create a black hole and suck up the entire world. but many say that even if a black hole is created it will vanish within a millionth of a second.. for more info follow these links. (i think the best footage/documentary from the LHC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fJ6PMfnz2E http://lhc-first-beam.web.cern.ch/lhc-first-beam/Welcome.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0r7nfXhGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XotvwgnaY http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/5005914/physicists-firing-atomsmasher/ this video is done by Chris Mann, (the link: http://lhc-first-beam.web.cern.ch/lhc-first-beam/Welcome.html ) CERN- European organization for nuclear research /lhc first beam.
