About this work
This view captures the transformation of Comet ISON as it rounded the sun. It combines 60 SOHO C2 frames in which ISON appears (Nov. 28, 1248 UT, to Nov. 29, 0316 UT) with stars, noise and particle tracks removed, plus an SDO AIA 171 image of the sun taken just before the spacecraft attempted to image the comet near perihelion.
