Atlas Image mosaic, covering 6.7´ × 6.7´ on the sky, of comet 52P/Harrington-Abell, which was serendipitously observed by 2MASS on 1998 Oct 8 UT and is among twenty comets included in the 2MASS Second Incremental Data Release. Comets, of course, are within our Solar System and orbit the Sun, and therefore do not move sidereally (that is, as the stars do). 2000 Mar 22-28 Posted on: 31 Mar, 2003
