I also saw an unusually straight vertical line in this place, but I probably won't have it in the photo.

can you give me the UT time of this line because I have a lot of images that I have not released

Interesting! It certainly looks real, not an artifact.

It has to be a bit of coronal rain as anything else would be obliterated way before it got that close to the sun. Nice animation of whatever it was!

This certainly looks genuine to me. Coronal Rain? Maybe. But if an asteroid, especially one of those dense iron rich ones or a comet approached the Sun fast enough it might just make it close enough to impact the sun and still be intact. Some sun grazers in the past have survived the passage approaching very close to the sun. Many of course do not. They disintegrate. I just wonder how many actually survive to impact the Sun. Most probably do disintegrate but occasionally one may survive to impact the photosphere.

Hmm...Thinking here...

Great animation! I don't think it's a comet, we can't see it in Ha, just a black projection.

Good capture.

I think it is an active region beyond the limb and activity from that.

I am sure that a comet would not be able to emit in hydrogen alpha and have a temperature similar to the solar surface? I thought they were dirty snowballs and so would just burn up / melt. I would have thought it would most likely be an active region beyond the limb like Mark said, giving up a spray and it landing back again over the limb. We will never know
