This one– called Comet SOHO-5008– was special for a various reason.Karl Battams (US Naval Research Lab), supervisor of the SOHO Sungrazer Project, forecasted that comet SOHO-5008 would be noticeable throughout the total solar eclipse, which was due to plunge parts of the United States and Mexico into darkness later on that very exact same day.Petr Horálek, from the Institute of Physics in Opava (Czechia), was in Mexico for the eclipse. To the lower left of the Sun, Comet SOHO-5008 is revealed.Soon after Petr recorded the comet on electronic camera, it fulfilled its demise, coming so close to the Sun that it disintegrated.Same image as above, with inset highlighting SOHO-5008.
