Comet Lovejoy Slingshots 'Round The Sun

Confounding astrophysicist's predictions, the two football field-sized comet survives a swing past the sun, though it lost much mass as these views from three different satellite reveal. Credit: Music: Atom Strange - http://atomstrange1.bandcamp.com/track/breathe - NASA, SOHO, SDO, ESA, PROBA-2

@lpsfun1000 Just because your uncle works for Nasa he is no authority on the subject of Aliens. What does he do, sweep the floors?

The 1 dislike comes from sun itself who obviously didn't like the fact that the comet escaped it :D

[thongytong207]

1. A "dirty snowball" would have melted completely.

2. The atmosphere of the sun is hotter than the sun's outer layer.

3. A comet's "tail" always points "away" from the sun.

There's a lot wrong with this picture, which current science can't explain. However, if viewed from the Plasma-Electric model, it all actually works out logically.

Chuck Norris sperm going: "this chick aint hot enough"

Gotta rename this to Comet Honey Badger. The sun?? Hah, Comet Honey Badger don't give a shit, it just takes what it wants.

The comet "lost" it's tail on the "approach" side of the solar pass, most likely the extreme heat and turbulance made it impossible to keep the tail. A few hours after the cloest approach, it started to reform.

And than stick a probe up its ass.
