The views you get when you're closer to the Sun! 😎
Here's @MissionSoho looking at the now famous Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), the second brightest comet the mission has ever seen 👇

🎶How does it keep getting better?🎵
🌞☄️@MissionSoho keeps delivering, with epic shots of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) as the Sun rages on in the background

Comet C/2023 A3’s brightness is ‘off the charts’ today, partially saturating @MissionSoho’s detectors! 😎
✨Those sparkles in the image are solar energetic particles, as the Sun is still bursting with activity

Aaaand.. Action! ☀️
In the last 24 hours, the Sun sent out two X-class solar flares and @MissionSoho witnessed the two associated coronal mass ejections – those big white “puffs” seen here.
And that big white streak on the right? That’s Comet A3 entering the scene ☄️

Over the next few days, we’ll be tracking its progress across SOHO’s field of view, sharing the latest images and important facts about this fiery visitor from afar. ☄️
Stay tuned!

This is a view from ESA/NASA’s SOHO spacecraft, which blocks the Sun to see its faint outer atmosphere.
It’s a typical image… with one MAJOR exception. See that bright dot on the right edge? 🔎
It may soon become the brightest comet that SOHO has ever recorded! ☄️

☄️Comet alert!
For the next few days, @MissionSoho will be watching Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), expected to be one of the brightest comets it's ever seen. Teaser first image below, check the right edge!

Además de investigar cómo funciona el Sol, @MissionSoho
es el descubridor de cometas más prolífico de la historia de la astronomía ☄️
Ha seguido el destino de miles de estos minimundos helados en sus ardientes encuentros con el Sol. 👇

In addition to investigating how the Sun works, @MissionSoho is the most prolific discoverer of comets in astronomical history ☄️ It has tracked the destinies of thousands of these icy mini-worlds as they endured fiery encounters with the Sun. Here's SOHO's 4000th comet. Its 5000th is just around the corner... 📽️ ESA/NASA/SOHO/K. Battams

It's official – @MissionSoho has hit 5000 comets! ☄️
Spotted on 25 March by citizen scientist and seasoned comet hunter Hanjie Tan, this rare 'Marsden group' comet is extremely small and faint.

Avvistata il 25 marzo da Hanjie Tan, 'citizen scientist' ed esperto cacciatore di comete, questa rara cometa del "gruppo Marsden" è estremamente piccola e debole. Nell'animazione video, la troviamo tra le due linee verticali nel riquadro in altro a sinistra.

La missione @MissionSoho è stata progettata per l'osservazione del Sole 🌞.
L’abilità del telescopio come 'cacciatore di comete' ☄️ è un successo inaspettato.
Rivediamo con @esascience le comete 4.000, 3.000, 1.500 e 750 di SOHO. ⬇️
ESA Science@esascience
During its three decades in space, SOHO has become the most prolific discoverer of comets in astronomical history. Designed to observe the Sun, the telescope’s prowess as a comet-hunter is an unexpected success. (Pictured: SOHO's 4000th, 3000th, 1500th and 750th comets)

🌞 🌚 🌎 The ESA/NASA SOHO mission observed its 5000th comet ☄️ - found by a member of the public through the @SungrazerComets project! The instrument used was LASCO, which creates an artificial eclipse in space! Dr. Karl Battams leads the project. 🥳 👏 go.nasa.gov/4cwGWmu

@DoNASAScience @MissionSoho @USNRL “Sungrazer has been with me my entire career, so to see it get SOHO to this milestone is beyond thrilling. I'm delighted for all the project volunteers who, over the past 20+ years, have made Sungrazer so engaging, inspiring, and rich with science.”
