For those space weather buffs and amateur astronomers, here is something

SUNDIVING COMET:  A comet is diving into the sun today. Just discovered by
comet hunters Michal Kusiak of Poland and Sergei Schmalz of Germany in data
from SOHO, the icy visitor from the outer solar system is expected to
brighten to first magnitude before it disintegrates on Sept. 14th.  Visit
http://spaceweather.com today and tomorrow to follow the comet's death
plunge.
