I didn't know whether to post this here or in the cometary section, but seeing as STEREO's involved...
A cool movie of Comet Encke's tail being seemingly ripped off by a CME in this story:

Don't worry - Comets are like gecko's - it will grow a new one.
That's great!
Cool animation!!
That's really something...you can actually see the CME strike Encke! Thanks, Gordan!
There are some additional (I think) views here:

The movie they have on www.spaceweather.com is good too.
