Comet Lovejoy's journey behind the Sun was observed by several spacecrafts. We are still awaiting the HINODE data but so far ESA PROBA2, NASA/ESA SOHO, NASA STEREO and NASA SDO all have seen the amazing and wonderful journey of Comet Lovejoy.
Comet Lovejoy survived being immersed in the several million-degree solar corona for almost an hour and re-emerged back on the other side of the Sun.
