That's not how comets work for one. Two, what's your point? It has nothing to do with the corona virus. All glowing things have coronas, even street lamps.
Also, for such self described critical thinkers you should ask yourself this. How does something so small hold onto such a large atmosphere?

It doesn't. It has no atmosphere. Comets, (dirty iceballs) as they approach the sun and getted heated, start to give off particles (kinda like a mist). It is highly reflective and begins to appear as a "tail" behind the comet.

I think they/you mean to say that the comet will APPEAR to be 5 times Jupiter and 1/2 the size of Sun.
And LOTS of things can be referred to as "corona". For instance...
EDIT: This is not to say that this is not a sign in the sky. I'm just 'allergic' to sensationalism.
Best to all. Be well.

I pasted their title in for my post title so I cant take credit for the exceptional sensationalism. Heck, it caught my eye. Why fix something that ain't broke, as they say.

Hi Lurk,
This comet could be spectacular or a dud, or something in between. It all depends if keeps itself in one piece. If it breaks into two, less spectacular. Breaks into many pieces, a dud. (Lesson is that we, like it, should always keep it together).
