Comet Discovered at Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter
As a result of a scheduling conflict, an amateur astronomer in Slovakia has discovered a comet while remotely observing with the 32-inch Schulman Telescope at the UA Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter. Measuring about 5 miles across and traveling on an orbit between Mars and Jupiter, the comet is the first discovered with the public outreach telescope.
