Using the SOHO mission, scientists observed the nearly 4-mile-wide space snowball 96P Machholz and confirmed its intriguing debris-created feature.
Astronomers have caught another look at a massive sun-grazing comet currently close to our star revealing a trail of dust both behind and ahead of the comet.known as 96P Machholz has long been an object of fascination for astronomers, particularly because a 2008 chemical analysis revealed it had an unusual composition for such short-period comets with low proportions of elements like carbon.
The comet and its tail of debris is no stranger to SOHO. In 2012 the sun-observing spacecraft spotted two small fragments presumably released by 96P Machholz as it made its previous passage around the sun. When 96P Machholz made a return visit to the innerand the field of view of SOHO in 2017 the spacecraft spotted more tiny fragments leading ahead of the comet in its orbit.
