Here we go...this is the latest SOHO L3 image.

This is one strange object. The pre-perihelion tail appears still extending downward, while the comet itself is the brilliant object to the right of the sun. Both entities seem completely disconnected.

The tail appears to be rebuilding on the comet itself.
