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.
