I'm inspired to re-watch Don't Look Up this afternoon.

  At a closest approach of 1.8AU, you really don't have to worry about a collision with Earth. But that film is relevant to this comet in another way -- several missions that made it into space before the administration's war on the scientific enlightenment may be able to image the comet when we can't see it (perihelion) or when they're much closer to it than we'll ever be.

    Do you happen to know which missions those might be?
