Can I discover a comet?

Comet

If you want instant fame, start scouring the images taken by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a satellite which orbits the sun and is used to study its surface. Over four hundred comets have been discovered in the background of SOHO images. A father of three from Britain is credited with discovering 132 of these comets.
