Comet 2011W 3 - DEAD !!!

This image is SOHO sun's observatory from the orbit. The comet tragedy will happen in next few hours.
Will survive ? Maybe - suprise and not miracle.So far our theories and knowladge about Universe are wrong-abuse proved by last observation's. My 1-cent, maybe Sun's gravity push a way comet on new orbit :).
