Maybe it's comet 96P (?),...not sure but it's on all frames that are available today thus far on stereo ahead. Excerpt from spaceweather.com January 31, 2023: A LARGE COMET IS STREAKING TOWARD THE SUN (UPDATED): Comet 96P/Machholz is streaking toward the sun for a close encounter inside the orbit of Mercury. Coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) are monitoring its approach: visit spaceweather.com for more |

Karl Battams @SungrazerComets · 4h Comet 96P has now passed perihelion, and is looking great! 😍 Follow along on the @MissionSoho website: https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime-images.html (but note my many recent caveats about how the "pretty picture" rate has been slowed in favor of science data) |
