The new comet discoverd by SWAN (named after the Solar Wind ANisotropies instrument on the ESA/NASA SOHO satellite) is most probably a member of the Kreutz Sungrazers family with an orbit (if they survive) of some hundred years. . :ase26122019: Annular Solar Eclipse - December 26, 2019 - Kannur, Kerala, India |
