Science Comet 'Dives' Into Sun At Over 350 Miles Per Second - Spacecraft View SPACE.com 1 hour 49 minutes ago Like Reblog on Tumblr Tweet The NASA/ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured imagery of a Kreutz sungrazer comet burn up on approach to the Sun (Aug 2-4, 2016 UTC). The comet was traveling at ~373 miles per second (600 km/s) and did not survive the encounter. ... Read more I just wanted to share this with you guys, I thought it was Amazing that any object can travel at these Speeds, Its Insane in my opinion.Can you guys just imagine traveling at that kind of speed lol? You could go coast to coast in 10 seconds give or take-Wow!!!
A H2R motorcycle can pull off 400km/h. Koenigsegg Agera R 439km/h (theorethical speed, sh*t hits the fan before 380.) Thrust SSC 1227.986km/h Also in germany there are restrictless highways so you'll see a lot of guys go 150-250km/h. Thought it was funny you're astounded by 600km/h.
Well I sure hope he was kidding , I had to do a double take - was wondering why he's talking about motor-cycles ect. Alrighty then.
The speed is crazy when you convert it into hours. 2.16 Million Kilometers per Hour (hope I did that right).
I was just thinking about that myself-Holy mother of god 2 Million Kph! I think your skin would peel off from the speed lol.
When Mars is closest to Earth (56 Million Km) it would take around 26hrs to travel to Mars at that speed (A Little over 4 days at it's furthest distance) which is crazy to think about considering how long it would take us now! :nerd:
maybe if you launched from a silo with a nuke below it, you could reach mars that fast if you manage to avoid RUD
Come on, give a source or an image with this. http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2016/esa-nasa-s-soho-sees-bright-sungrazer-comet
Sweet! Although, not surprised, by how fast the comet was moving since there is no friction in space (vacuum) and every gravitational body the comet got near sling-shot it (making it go faster).
Actually, I'm beginning to think this story is false. That's no comet! That's Captain Kirk and Spock traveling back to the future with two whales by slingshotting around the sun performing a TimeWarp! Nasa and their damn coverups!
You are spot on about that, Thank you for posting that image for me. The suns pull is just sucking that (sucker) in- That sounded so wrong but you catch my drift.Lol.
