Comet NEOWISE reaches perihelion (closest approach to the sun) near the orbit of Mercury on July 3rd. SOHO(Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) will be able to follow the comet to the doorstep of that encounter. SOHO coronagraphs are watching Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) plunge toward the sun.
Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) moves out toward the center of the right in this time-lapse image from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory on June 22-27, 2020. The image of the sun at the center is from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.
cf. July 3: 0.7 mag., July 15: 2.2 mag., July 20: 3.1 mag. (CBET 4804).
