Summary

Abstract: The Large Angle and Spectrometric COronagraph (LASCO) instrument is
one of 11 instruments included on the joint NASA/ESA SOHO (Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft. The LASCO instrument is a set
of three coronagraphs that image the solar corona from 1.1 to 32 solar
radii. It is convenient to measure distances in terms of solar radii.
One solar radius is about 700,000 km, 420,000 miles ...
