The first 100,000,000 on-orbit NASA SDO Images... On 6 July 2011, AIA observed, for the first time ever, a comet plunging into the Suns corona. The comet (probably just 10 to 50 meters in diameter at first; compared to the solar diameter of 1.4 million kilometers) was hardly visible against the glow of the background corona, but image enhancements (shown in the insets) revealed the irregularly glowing tail of the dying comet. credit: NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (Little SDO)
