Was going through my old laptop and found this animation of comet Kudo-Fujikawa transiting the SOHO/LASCO C2 FOV! The images are from January 2003. Enjoy! ☄️

About 37 years ago, the final moments of #comet C/1988 Q1 were captured by the Solar Maximum Mission. The below animation contains the only images of this sungrazer, which may have reached negative magnitudes prior to disintegrating! Image credit: The HAO/SMM C/P project team & #NASA

It's so cool that already-processed real time DSCOVR/EPIC images are accessible online! Below is an animation I put together showing the shadow of the April 8th (2024) solar eclipse! 😃 Data can be found here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov
