in [case](https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=24&month=10&year=2025) you’re curious, SOHO along with a few other solar probes are tracking it right now and a new update is coming soon per astrophysicist [marshal eubanks](https://bsky.app/profile/marshall-eubanks.bsky.social/post/3m3wwqija2k2u)
Deceleration burn. Looking forward to meeting our new friends…
The images were taken on Aug 2 when it was 3.43 AU from the Sun. (Currently at 1.36 AU).
So ice just melted and causes the jets. Good click bait title OP, you fooled me.
How much mass it loses in every such pass? If i may ask it here.
Well that’s an appropriately worded title that won’t send the crackpots off.
