Could we detect a comet or asteroid hitting the Sun?

FROM THE December 2012 ISSUE

Could we detect a comet or asteroid hitting the Sun?

Steve Scherr, El Dorado Hills, California

Published: Monday, October 29, 2012

Yes. A comet or asteroid impacting the Sunт??s surface (called the photosphere) would explode due to the pressure of the body traveling through the solar medium. The explosionт??s brightness and effects would depend on the objectт??s mass.
