Comet IRAS–Araki–Alcock (formal designation C/1983 H1, formerly 1983 VII) is a long-period comet that, in 1983, made the closest approach to Earth, about {{convert|0.0312|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=on}}, of any comet in 200 years; only Lexell's Comet, in 1770, and 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, in 1366, are thought to have come closer.[7] (The small comet P/1999 J6 (SOHO) passed about {{convert|0.012|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=off}} from Earth on 1999-Jun-12.[8] and a small fragment of 252P/LINEAR called P/2016 BA14 passed at a distance of {{convert|0.0237|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=off}} on 22 March 2016[1])

The comet was named after its discoverers – the Infrared Astronomical Satellite and two amateur astronomers, George Alcock of the United Kingdom and Genichi Araki of Japan (both men were schoolteachers by profession, although Alcock was retired). Alcock had made his discovery simply by observing through the window of his home, using binoculars.[2][3]

During the closest approach the comet appeared as a circular cloud about the size of the full moon, having no discernible tail, and shining at a naked eye magnitude of 3-4. It swept across the sky at an incredible speed of some 30 degrees per day.

It is a long-period comet, with an orbital period of around 970 years,[1] and is the parent comet of the minor Eta Lyrid meteor shower.[4] This shower's radiant lies between Vega and Cygnus and produces 1 or 2 meteors an hour in mid-May with a peak between May 9 and May 11.

Flyby comparison

Comet IRAS–Araki–Alcock is thought to have made the closest approach to Earth in 1983, about {{convert|0.0312|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=on}}. This would make it he closest approach up to that time of any comet in 200 years; only Lexell's Comet, in 1770, and 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, in 1366, are thought to have come closer.[7] The small comet P/1999 J6 (SOHO) passed about {{convert|0.012|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=off}} from Earth on 1999-Jun-12.[8] and what was though to be a small fragment of 252P/LINEAR called P/2016 BA14 passed at a distance of {{convert|0.0237|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=off}} on 22 March 2016[5] However, when observed during its flyby it BA14 was much larger than expected, going from over 100 meters to 1 km in size estimate and one reason for this it was found to be extremely dark.

The comet BA14 was calculated to have reflected only 2-3 percent of visible light, based on observations with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (a ground-based optical infrared telescope).[6]

Flyby Distance comparison:

  • Name - Distance -Date of closest approach
  • Comet IRAS–Araki–Alcock - 0.0312 AU (4,670,000 km; 2,900,000 mi) - 1983
  • 252P/LINEAR - 5.3 million kilometers (3.3 million miles)
  • P/2016 BA14 (Comet Pan-STARRS 2016) - 3.6 million kilometers (2.2 million miles) - 2016

1983 Flyby


The comet passed from north to south between May 9 to 13, passing through Ursa Major towards Cancer. Its motion is marked every 2 hours here.

Moving north to south, it crossed just inside the earth's orbit on May 11.
