  Ahh,i'm talking bs,  no splash this evening, but would look fun;  won;t collide with the Sun. I was just looking at small bodies JPL trajectory model for this comet  C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy) and show a close approach to Sun, this night but not collision

Watched the c3 movie and caught 2 possible companions to this monster. One starts on the 13th about 17:18 on the time. Its lower middle left and goes right toward the corona. The other one may be an instrument shadow right in front of the Lovejoy comet.

The sun didn't lose, the comet backed off at the last instant and decided not to fight. All drive by talk and no contact. The sun wins by default. Pay up.

   Nice video provided by NASA below; lucky Comet dodging 300miles/second solar plasma winds and 2 milions degrees heat through solar corona; must be made from some unknown matter or antimatter.

It wasnt a comet. It was the Klingon Bird of Prey circling the sun to go forward in time with two humpback whales  :noid

Apparently a classified photo that NASA captured has been leaked out onto the internet about the "comet"
