Dubiago's Comet, formally known as C/1921 H1 by its modern nomenclature, is a faint Halley-type comet that completes an orbit around the Sun once every 61–79 years. It was predicted to return in 1982, but it was not observed. It will next return to the inner Solar System by 2041.

Discovery and observations

The comet was first spotted from the Kazan Observatory on the evening of 24 April 1921. Initially, the discovery of the comet was incorrectly credited to Dmitri Dubyago, but the attribution was later clarified to Alexander Dubyago a year later.
