Check out this video on spaceweather. A coronal mass ejection from the sun rips the tail off Comet Encke! Very cool.

An awesome demonstration of Sol's power.
What impressed me was how quickly Encke grew back another tail!!

WOW! Absolutely amazing! I sat here watching it, and when the tail ripped off, I went "WOW!!!

Of course my boys raced over to see what was so 'wow'.

They said the same thing

That is truly incredible footage!!!
