NASA SOHO/LASCO2 Comet Challenge on AWS

The human eye is the only tool currently used to reliably detect new comets in Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) data, particularly comets that are very faint and embedded in the instrument background noise. Bright comets can be easily detected in the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph C2 (LASCO) data by relatively simple automated algorithms, but the majority of comets observed by the instrument are extremely faint, noise-level observations. The SOHO/LASCO2 data set comprises approximately 36,000 images spread across 2,950 comet observations.
