LASCO transits

LASCO image from May 2000 showing four planets, the Pleiades star cluster and a halo CME

Past, present, and future transits of select known objects through the LASCO field-of-view.

Important note: These lists pertain ONLY to the SOHO/LASCO C3 camera. They do not in any way correspond to transits of planets in the STEREO/SECCHI data. The STEREO spacecraft are in a very different orbit to SOHO, and are in a completely different part of the solar system, and so will not witness the below transits at the same time as SOHO does. For information regarding planets in STEREO data, we recommend the "Where is STEREO?" page, the "STEREO Orbit Tool", or the "STEREO Planet Finder" page.

These lists were compiled by Jonathan Shanklin, Douglas Biesecker, Sebastian Hoenig, Derek Hammer, Michal Kusiak, Michael Mattiazzo, Giuseppe Pappa, Worachate Boonplod and Karl Battams. The dates are all approximate.
