Video: Sundiving Comet Lovejoy Survived its Close Encounter with the Sun

Recently discovered Comet Lovejoy survives a close brush with Sol. (video)

From Physorg.com
Comet Lovejoy was only discovered a couple of weeks ago. It was supposed to melt as it came so close to the sun that the temperatures would hit several million degrees.
But astronomers watching live with telescopes were shocked when a bright spot emerged on the sun’s other side. Lovejoy lived.
