COMET ALERT: Earlier today, the SOHO spacecraft detected a comet plunging toward the sun and it appears headed for closest approach during Friday’s total eclipse. Experienced astronomers in the path of totality may be able to photograph the doomed comet shining like a 5th or 6th magnitude star about 2o from the edge of the eclipsed sun. The Minor Planet Center has just released an ephemeris for the comet, newly named C/2008 O1 (SOHO).

Having just done greater Kan and Li I find this interesting but have yet to make sense of it
