Comet Lovejoy
COMET · the one that touched the Sun
In December 2011 this comet dove straight through the Sun's million degree outer atmosphere. Every expert expected it to evaporate. Instead, Lovejoy burst out the other side, a bit scruffy but alive, and grew a glorious tail that astronauts photographed from the International Space Station. Comets are tougher than they look.
