A comet made a death plunge into the Sun on Friday, disintegrating as its icy chemicals vaporized on the way in.

So let me get this straight...
Is that whole round thing the sun?
Is that black line thing the entry point and path of the comet as its working its way to the center, getting smaller and smaller?

yeh thats what it is.

Impressive! I think you'll find the comet is to the right of that black line btw, coming in from bottom right and careering into the sun.

That would have been catastrophic had it been earth instead of the Sun which is ONLY about 1300 times larger than our planet..
