Flat-earthers just say the Moon gets in front of the Sun as they both travel along 3000 miles above the Earth. But what's really difficult for them to explain is a lunar eclipse, where the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.

Leave the comet up to those equipped and ready with all the cameras, comet locators, timed camera shots etc. Wear approved ISO solar glasses, the filament of an LED light should be dim, the sun tiny, dark orange in a sea of deep black.

All the same I can’t accuse God of having no judgement if I stand in the way of it and if God does nothing but put on an amazing show for everyone I wonder who paid the price for the admission given most people only pay for the 3D glasses or whatever those are.
