That must be one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. Amazing how it's diving through those giant loops!
Congratulations to Terry again for discorering such a spectacular comet

And here it comes, blasting out of the other side.
As I write, orbital data is being revised.
It sure is scooting along now.

I have been tottering around the office making everyone come and look at the images as they emerge - your (not so) little comet is generating quite the buzz, Terry!

Confirmation that the comet survived is now appearing in the STEREO Coronagraph images. I combined six images showing the comet to the the left of the sun moving outbound. Looks like the tail suffered a big hit...
