Choose LASCO C3 at 1024 resolution enter 20111215 as the dates and click search.

The object that appears like it's a moon that belongs to LOVEJOY is following directly ahead and it's a bit smaller but visible on LASCO C3. As you look at LOVEJOY traveling towards the Sun notice on top of it an object moving in the same direction. Looks like it's towing LOVEJOY into the Sun. That's the first thought that popped into my head. I have never seen a Comet with an actual satellite before. This is a first for me.
