On September 22 giant planet Jupiter will be at conjunction with the Sun the point when Jupiter, Earth Sun angle is at 0 degrees. This interesting image of the Sun and Jupiter in today’s daytime sky comes from the ESA/NASA SOHO sun probes’ Lasco camera. It shows Jupiter and background stars.
My question is: The Lasco images have already been used successfully to discover comets, so can these images be used to discover asteroids or even supernova … ?  Note: [The coincidence in right ascension of two celestial bodies (one of which is often the Sun). For example, when a planet is at the same right ascension as the Sun, it is said to be in conjunction].
