COSMIC MESSAGE
On May 1, Comet Hyakutake made its closest approach to the Sun. The orbiting SOHO spacecraft, designed to observe the Sun, tracked the comet during this period. This image, taken May 2, shows the comet's tails streaming away from the Sun, as expected from solar radiation pressure and the solar wind.
