US-SPACE-TWIN COMETS

This image released 02 June by NASA shows telescopes on board the SOHO spacecraft viewing two sun grazing comets following similar but not identical orbits and entering the tenuous outer atmosphere of the sun, the solar corona, never to reappear on the other side of the sun. Shortly after the comets disappear behind the occulting disks of the LASCO C1 and C2 coronagraphs, a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) with an enormous erupting prominence appears on the southwest (lower right) limb of the sun.
