Comet ISON Before and After
Comet ISON met the Sun yesterday, passing just a million kilometers from its surface. These two panels from the SOHO spacecraft's LASCO instrument show the comet before and after its close approach. The Sun's overwhelming light is blocked by LASCO's central disk, with a white circle marking the Sun's position. This sungrazing comet's journey was a dramatic event for astronomers.
