COSMIC MESSAGE
Comet C/2026 A1 MAPS plunged towards the Sun, where it was expected to make its closest approach this week. This video, compiled from 40 hours of data, shows the comet's final moments before it was destroyed by the intense solar environment. Such close observations require a coronagraph, an instrument that blocks the Sun's direct light.
