Der Komet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 wurde im Mai dieses Jahres mit Teleskopen des Observatoriums Hoher List aufgenommen, einer Außenstelle des Argelander-Instituts für Astronomie in der Eifel. Wie Tempel 1 zählt auch Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 zu den "kurzperiodischen Kometen", die für einen Sonnenumlauf nur einige Jahre benötigen (Tempel 1 war im vergangenen Jahr von der Nordhalbkugel nicht gut sichtbar). Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 zerbrach in diesem Jahr in mehrere Teile. Ereilt Tempel 1 irgendwann das gleiche Schicksal?
