Six Comet Discoverers
Six comet discoverers at the International Workshop on Cometary Astronomy (IWCA III) in Paris in 2004. (l-r) Milos Tichy, Sebastian Hoenig, Michel Meunier, Patrick Stonehouse, Shigeki Murakami, and Doug Snyder. Snyder and Murakami co-discovered Comet Snyder-Murakami (C/2002 E2). All the discoverers have one comet discovery to their credit, except for Murakami, who recently co-discovered a second comet, this time with renowned comet hunter Kaoru Ikeya, a rare visual discovery in a time when the automated sky surveys searching for near-Earth objects find most comets.
