Comet Giacobini
Comet C/1898 M1
One of the earliest comets to be discovered by Giacobini, and one of at least ten to bear his name. It passed through the inner Solar System in the early part of 1899, and left on a parabolic course that will not see it return. It is now far beyond the orbit of Pluto, and hurtling away from the Solar System at about 17,000 km/h.
