I do what I think is right. But I don't think that what I think is right can not be wrong.

Wasn't that like 100k kilometers away from the sun or so? That's frickin close! Closer than the moon is from here. And I have no idea why it didn't evaporate. Strong comet!

btw, today André Kuipers launched into space towards the ISS, our only and awesome Dutch astronaut :) I'm not a patriot, but I'm proud of this guy!

The sun atmosphere is not very dense, even though it's high temperature.

A comparison I've read:
Compare a 300 Degree Celsius Oven atmosphere with a much less hot 180 Degree Celsius pot of frying oil. If you can easily hold your hand into the oven to get out a cake, but even touching the oil will burn you.
