In the LASCO C3 and LASCO C2 for 11-13/11-14-05 there is a disappearing comet that's on its final orbit of the sun. You see it in enter the occulting disk area in the "C3" mpeg for 11-14-05 but it doesn't exit. If you look at the "C2" mpeg file, you also see it enter the frame then dissentigrate at about the 9:00 position.

then scroll down to the 11-14-05 mpegs

It's posts like this that make me want to get high speed internet.
But I get the idea from the great description that BMA gives. Thanks!

Have this one marked for when I get near a high speed wireless link for the notebook.

well it doesn't appear to show up very well in any but the 051114 c3.mpg file. it was much more impressive in the daily mpeg files on 11-16-05. This was a combination of the 11-13, 11-14, 11-15, 11-16 files in large format.

Well,
Another one bites the dust. look at the LASCO-C3 and LASCO-C2 mpg files. Another cool sight. It will probably only appear 01-06-06 and 01-07-06. so look fast.

I have copies of the original .MPG files. Is there a way to post these here?They don't seem to work through the image hosting site.

THANKS MAKC

This is the mpg file i was talking about
http://rapidshare.de/files/11648218/com ... 3.mpg.html

It's a 1.9 meg file so it might take a little while to download if you are on 56k dial-up, about 8 minutes.
