Does the comet still exist, or did it disintegrate as it approached the sun?

    • Kohoutek still exists, and is now in the outer solar system (or perhaps farther, I am not sure) out. Scientists believe the comet has an approximately 75,000 year orbital period, so we won't be seeing it again in our lifetimes.

[edit] Perihelion date

The image accompanying this article indicates the perihelion date as the 27th rather than the 26th of December 1973. Given the image is taken from NASA, is the date in the article a typo?


Please take note: there's an D.J.Batzer's article in Malaysia's Star on 6 Feb 2006 about the mystery of Kahoutek comet.
