SOHO LASCO footage of Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) approaching perihelion today. Watch the lower left. Kreutz sungrazer. 400-meter nucleus. 161,000 km from the photosphere. It didn't come back out. A 1,700-year-old fragment of a comet Aristotle saw, incinerated live on a government camera. Sometimes the Sun just wins.
