A Sun-Grazing Comet as Caught by SOHO (IMAGE) NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Caption This is a sun-grazing comet as caught by SOHO's LASCO C2 camera as it dived toward the sun on July 5-6, 2011. SOHO is the overwhelming leader in spotting sungrazers, with over 2000 spotted to date, aided by the fact that the sun's bright light is itself blocked out by a coronograph.
