Just found a comet-like object at lasco images (also visible at lasco C3 since 10th of june). My very first time when I see how comet appears on images. It is not very bright and huge but still a comet with a tiny tail

What is the probability that it is indeed a comet? Is it possible that this is the output of "heavy particles" - the remnants of the proton ejection of the previous flare? I'm sorry if my question seems silly, I'm just learning to understand sunny weather.

I see how it moves on lasco c3 images and that movement is not typical for high-energy particles. And as I said earlier - it has a tail. 99% chance that this is a comet

Oh, I see: and it's moving towards the Sun, not away from it. You're probably right. Thank You.

I thought I saw something on Lasco the past few days as well that looked like a celestial object. I wonder if it is pons/brooks (Mother dragon comet) ?

It is a comet, bright and with the tail. Whichever it is, it probably won't exist anymore in a few days.

Cool to see how clearly C2 is capturing the comet. Seems like it's behind the sun from C3's perspective now.

Btw, LASCO (SOHO) has enabled the discovery of more than 5000 comets so far

I'm sorry if my suggestion seems silly, but could this be comet 154P/Brewington? I know that it reached its perihelion exactly on June 11
