    "If you live in the Northern hemisphere, this evening is your best remaining opportunity to catch Comet McNaught in its full glory. The comet is sinking rapidly from one evening to the next, but it's also getting brighter.."

    Comet McNaught now visible on SOHO satellite
    SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory ^ | 11 JAN 07 | TXnMA



    Comet McNaught has just made its appearance in the SOHO (SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory) "LASCO-3" field (at about the 11:00 position) -- and it is very bright!!


    The real-time image is viewable at http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/LATEST/current_c3small.mpg.
    In the next couple of days, the 48-hr MPEGs of the SOHO LASCO-3 field at
    http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/LATEST/current_c3small.mpg
    should be well worth watching.


    ~~~~~~
    (The above URL is for the small (256 X 256) MPEG. The larger (512 X 512) MPEG at
    http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/...current_c3.mpg
    appears to have a problem at present.)
