Six panels from the SOHO spacecraft's coronograph show five bright comets: McNaught (2007), Lovejoy (2011), ISON (2013), Neowise (2020), and Tsuchinshan-Atlas (2024). A blank panel hints at a future comet observation. Each image depicts the comet's tail streaming away from the Sun, which is blocked by the coronograph.
