If it had continued past perihelion, we would have seen it on the left side of the Sun as it moved away However, the comet could not withstand the strong gravitational pull of our star and disintegrated.
Thus, what remained—mainly dust—appeared as a cloud on the right, pushed by the pressure of solar radiation, which will gradually dissipate over the next few days.

So when do we call this comet event as Icarus event?
what were the two bright flashes coming out the top before the comet got close, one right, one left in close succession
