This article confuses two different comets

[edit]

C/1999 T1 (McNaught-Hartley) is not C/2006 P1 (McNaught). SevenSpheres (talk) 20:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the source about Ulysses, it's not about C/2006 P1 but three other comets, one of which is referred to as "McNaught-Hartley (C/1991 T1)". That's a different year, but I think it's actually a typo of this comet, since searching the JPL Small-Body Database for C/1991 T1 finds 145P/Shoemaker-Levy. So the article wasn't as wrong as I thought. SevenSpheres (talk) 21:50, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
