@neiltyson@weirdmedicine If it didn't have enough slingshot momentum to break the sun's gravity whole, it ain't doing it in pieces. Wrong? -
@TheNathanB it didn't plunge into the Sun is merely grazed it. Tidal forces may have ripped into shreds. -
@weirdmedicine The pic@neiltyson posted looks like it tried to escape, but didn't have enough mass left after it's perihelion & succumbed. -
@TheNathanB interesting! It was a Sun grazer though, so it may have evaporated, but would not "plunge in" -
@weirdmedicine Right. Didn't mean to steal your thunder by butting into your question to Neil. If you get him to answer, you got me beat. -
@TheNathanB no worries bro we're all just having fun
