Alright, so I mislabeled this as an -EX and made it into an -N.

I think you should call it Megasolaris. It sounds way cooler.
There are no -N.
Also, it's a serpent that lives in the sun. Really?
It's also larger then Jupiter (Earth would be about the size of a few pixels, if you base it on the size of the Suns curvature).

Can you honestly say we don't have weirder?
well, this answers my questions. but how do you accidently post something as an EX?
I'm not sure this strictly qualifies as neutralised. It's still out there being anomalous. It's just not doing so on our front lawn anymore.
One big problem. Solar escape velocity from the surface of the sun is 617.5 km/s, so you might want to either up the speed, or give it an acceleration. Work on your math and SI units, please.
Honestly, I don't see this as a very good SCP. It's not contained, or containable. However, it might serve as the seed for a Foundation Tale. You may want to pull that back into your sandbox and think it over, OP.
Not everything the Foundation records is contained. Although, it's not SAFE, I don't think we want a WTF?!? class…
I think if it goes negative, that would be a good suggestion. Right now it's in the positives and is not required to be moved.
You're right, not everything would be contained or containable, but SCP stands for Special Containment Procedures, in universe. If we can't contain it, then why have it under containment procedures?
Another reason, in my mind, why this should be a tale, or a bit of creepy pasta (Series: Creepy Pasta, I know…) rather than an article.
Make that a second big problem. It seems like it would have no forms of propulsion in space, but to return every ~76 years, it would have to do about 10% light speed to go to and from the nearest star in that timescale.
Even travelling at c, that still limits is to only a handful of the closest stars.
I do still like the idea of it, but you're going to have to either up the velocity or give it a much longer timescale between leaving and returning.
Upping the velocity gives time dilation on it, too, which means it would live longer, so it would get more travel cycles in it's life.
It accelerates according the the information in one of the addendums.
Also it's a mega-titanic fire dragon thing living in the sun.
I fixed the math, I think, and I added an addendum… tell me what you think, if it's too much, bleh. If you'd rather not know what it really is, don't read it.
I dunno if I'm being slow or not but…
Are D-class being thrown into the sun and somehow surviving?
On 11/28/2011, SCP-1682 emerged from the photosphere at a speed of 1045.5 km/s, effectively escaping the gravitational pull of the sun. SCP-1682 passed Pluto on 11/30/2011 and the heliosphere on 12/02/2011.
The bold area could use some work. "Achieving solar escape velocity" or some variant would help the tone. Also, I don't think the addendum is necessary for the piece.
I'm still maintaining my downvote, and probably will due to my opinion that this is not a good SCP. But since others disagree, I figure I might as well help make it a better article. You can't please everyone, so the saying goes, after all.
This is cool enough that I'm completely okay with the only containment procedure being to keep the public from knowing about it. There could maybe be a note about exploring orbital countermeasures involving [DATA EXPUNGED], but anything that could stop a planet-sized starworm seems like it would be way beyond the Foundation's current capabilities
Now you've gotten me thinking about a solar system immune response, which could make for a very cool tale, but is probably far outside the scope of this article.
Oh shit it's the C'tan.
Now I have to go and make a Necrodermis SCP-— oh god dammit I am totally gonna go and make a necrodermis SCP.
