The article says the comet is considered lost, but the infobox claims May 4, 2038 is the next perihelion. Which is correct? Tempshill 20:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both statements are correct. This comet was lost maybe due to its low brightness. But it orbit is known rather precisely and it could be recovered at next return by large telescopes. — Chesnok (talk) 21:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
