A collection of images and videos produced by NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio which illustrate how various spacecraft from NASA’s heliophysics mission fleet observed Comet ISON in 2013.
When C/2012 S1 (ISON) flew near the Sun in November 2013, the spacecraft of NASA’s heliophysics mission fleet turned their instruments in its direction to make special observations. These spacecraft included the NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and the joint European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
