The Sungrazing Comets
SOHO
Back in 1996 I had intended to launch the reader to a separate page for every sungrazer found by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). I don't think anyone then had a clue of how successful SOHO would be as a comet discoverer. As the number of SOHO comet discoveries surpassed 700 comets in December of 2003, and seeing that I was very far behind, I decided to include images and pages for only the most interesting, of SOHO's sungrazer discoveries.
