I love how the tail, or at least the coma is already projecting into space. I believe it's as far as Jupiter, but the most volatile components must be starting to vaporize.
The spectacle as it gets near the Sun will be gorgeus. And so it could be watching the tail slowy snowing again on the rock.
I wonder if it will break. Other comets are known to fragment in the hottest point. The "duck" shape suggest that's possible, but the perihelium is even longer than Earth's.
