Comet 12P is a periodic comet orbiting the Sun every 71 years.

Our worldwide Faulkes Telescope Comet Chasers have been making observations, and analysing them to try to understand what is happening to the comet since its first outburst in July 2023..

Our worldwide team of observers include: 

Maria Eleftheriou, Mirjana Malaric,  Marcelo Souza, Julio Vannini, Jose Manuel Perez Redondo, Valentina Matei, Gustavo Rojas, Errol Simpson, Ben Wooding, Cai Stoddard-Jones, Richard Miles, Tony Angel, Helen Usher and most importantly their students.

Richard Miles (BAA) is leading the analysis of the data.  If you are a comet observer and would like to submit your observations of 12P to be analysed alongside the Faulkes Telescope observations then please contact Richard - rmiles.btee@btinternet.com
