The STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RELations Observatory) is the third mission in NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program. Not actually intended for comet hunting, the STEREO will be a very productive sungrazing comet detector. It will also be able to detect much fainter comets than that of the current LASCO/SOHO satellite.
Gidday All, Not sure if this second leading comet is related to the SOHO detections Would have been a C2 detection 1102-03 perhaps. Kind regards Alan Watson C3
