PUNCH IMAGING (VIDEO)
Caption
With less than a year in orbit, the Southwest Research Institute-led PUNCH mission has made major accomplishments, imaging the Sun in context while tracking comets and enormous space weather events as they traveled through the inner solar system. In addition to showing the Sun’s activity, this movie tracks the Moon moving across the field of view, the planets Venus, Mercury, and Mars lined up in the ecliptic plane, various constellations, the Milky Way galaxy, and Comet Lemmon (top) traveling through the inner solar system.
