Comet Ikeya-Seki 1965

The Story of a Comet Hunter's Life

 

The Discovery story of Comet Seki-Lines
[My book "Seeking Unknown Stars" in 1993.]
Comet Seki-Lines (1962 C1) was discovered on February 4, 1962, my second comet discovery. This is my account of the moment of discovery, anxiety before and after reporting the discovery, and a sense of relief and achievement after the confirmation.
(The story was previously published in my book "Seeking Unknown Stars" in 1993.)
