Talk:Manx comet

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Summitguy

The paper that first describes these kind of objects names them Manx objects ("we are calling C/2014 S3 a Manx object" [1]) and not comets. --C messier (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Manx object as a title is rarely used, it would be difficult to justify it as the title of an article. Manx comet perhaps a little more often, but then it is still quite a new concept. The trend seems to be to use the term Manx standalone,[1] which would imply a title such as Manx (comet) but perhaps with a better disambiguator than comet.
