not only has it survived the close shave with the Sun, its apparently visible before sunrise, especially from the southern hemisphere.
It passed less then 200k kilometers from the suns surface and didnt vaporise, amazing considering the sun is about 1.4 million km across !!
keep an eye on spaceweather.com for updates on it.
