69P/Taylor

Comet Taylor, is a periodic comet in the solar system, first discovered by (Cape Town, South Africa) on November 24, 1915. George van Biesbroeck and E. E. Barnard (Yerkes Observatory, Wisconsin, United States) observed that the comet was split into two distinct nuclei, but this was not seen after March 16. The comet was predicted to return in 1922, but was lost (see lost comet). In 1928 the discovery of Comet Reinmuth 1 was originally assumed to be Comet Taylor, and again in 1951 the same assumption was made with Comet Arend-Rigaux.
