In a rare curiosity of nature, Comet Lovejoy appears to transit the elevated temperatures of the solar corona, laughing off the sizzling encounter, seemingly even with a portion of its tail intact. Presumably it will have gotten a nice acceleration to wherever it is going next from its slingshot maneuver around our sun.
