If a comet and/or meteor is coming at us from a direction behind the sun, then we won’t see it coming anyway. Even the most powerful telescopes won’t see it coming until it’s too late. So it’ll pop us without warning. Because nobody’s going to look up and think, “what’s that black spot on the sun?”

Nobody?

Hmmm..

I shot this black spot in front of the sun on 6/5/2013...Not a comet, but yes, people are watching.

Make that 6/5/2012...

Anything that is going to hit us is going to take years and years to get here, and since we will be rotating around the sun all that time, nothing can really approach us from “behind the sun”. It would only be approaching us from that direction a tiny fraction of the time we would be able to try and detect it.
