81P/＜81P/Wild 2 彗星＞(2009)

＊　Discovery　＊ Paul Wild (Astronomical Institute of Berne, Switzerland) discovered this comet on photos exposed by him on 1978 January 6 and 8. He said the comet was between magnitude 13.5 and 14, with a marked condensation. The discovery was announced on IAU Circular 3166 (1978 January 26). Meanwhile, Wild had photographed the comet again on January 25. This observation allowed B. G. Marsden (Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams) to determine the comet moved in a short-period orbit of about 6.15 years.
