SOHO-6 Comet at 2-6 solar radii from the Sun

Also, what the heck does this statement mean:

"North is at the top of the scene, which corresponds with the orientation of the Sun as seen at midday in the northern hemisphere of Earth. "

North is indeed at the top of the scene, but this corresponds to North on Earth, as in the North Pole.

As far as I can tell, nothing at all here corresponds in any way with midday in the northern hemisphere. What do you mean by that?

I don't mean to sound snotty, just trying to get to the truth of the matter and what you meant

I don't understand how the what you are calling the Milky Way appears to stay in one position but the stars clearly move behind the sun as SOHO orbits it.

If we can clearly see the stars in the background moving, which we can, then the Milky Way would appear to be moving in the same way.

I would like to politely suggest that what you are calling the Milky Way is in fact some kind of glare.

We can see neither the Milky Way nor any of its characteristic dust clouds in this video.
Cool vid tho
