Astronomers are scratching their heads over an unusual comet that is passing
by the sun. The icy visitor to the inner solar system does not belong
to any known family of sungrazing comets, and it appeared to be doomed
as it made its plunge toward the sun on Feb. 19th. Instead of disintegrating,
however, the comet has emerged apparently intact, and could become a target
for telescopes on Earth when it emerges from the sun's glare in the weeks
ahead. Images and updates may be found on http://spaceweather.com.
