Comet Ikeya-Seki passing through the sky. Discovered in 1965 by Japanese astronomers Kaory Ikeya and Tsutomu Seki,this comet was a Kreutz sungrazer. This means that it is a fragment of a larger comet which is thought to have broken up in 1106. Viewed from Earth in 1965,this was one of the brightest comets in history | |
