Remember sundiver? That was the comet on a suicide mission plummeting directly into the sun a couple of months ago.
Well, guess what?
It’s BACK!
Comet Lovejoy, aka Sundiver, actually didn’t plunge into the Sun, but apparently skimmed 140,000 miles behind the Sun. It has now re-emerged with a few parts missing. Notably, it no has a tail. Whether it grows back at some point or not remains to be seen.
