Seriously, would this comet be regarded as a "Great" comet? I don't know what the criteria should be, but some of the aspects of C/2001 W3 are extraordinary.
- Huge tail, visible soon after perihelion in the bright dawn sky
- Kreutz Sungrazer
- Huge tail
- Imaged in the daytime
- Huge tail
EDIT:
I've just looked up "Great Comets" on the net and Wikipedia has listed Comet Jovejoy - 2011 as the latest in a list of Great Comets.
