The poster there asked: "Your also going to see a huge enormous mass coronal ejection. Which is curious as the comet was at least a million kilometers above the surface of the sun at the time and there is no known mechanism for a comet to trigger such a magnetic explosion. Maybe some of you have an idea why the Sun reacted as it did without the Comet actually hitting it."

I'd point them to two articles:

(Electric Space Weather Baffles Scientists)

(Comet Neat and CME's)
http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2005/ ... metcme.htm

Slightly polar opposites, but yet not all that different... IE, sun hurls cloud of charged particles (protons) toward Earth as CME, and it may provoke a plume of electrons in Earth's atmosphere. Electrically charged comet nears sun, and provokes similar reaction (CME) in sun's atmosphere?

Just a thought. ;o]
