The Eclipse Comet of 1948
A surprise greeted observers during the total solar eclipse of Nov. 1, 1948, when a bright comet was sighted next to the Sun. Formally titled C/1948 V1, the Eclipse Comet of 1948 was one of the last to be discovered in this accidental fashion. The eclipse comet was briefly visible to the naked eye for the remainder of the year.
