On August 31 1979, #Comet Howard-Koomur-Michels collided with the #Sun. This was the first recorded instance of a comet hitting the Sun. The #energy released by the event was about equal to one million hydrogen bombs. Since its launch, the #ESA #SOHO #spacecraft has seen many more comets hit the Sun. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJPo8xH6nU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i8im4ov5ufw0
