Why I'm Called - Borrelly Comet

I am Borrelly Comet.

I am a comet visited by NASA's Deep Space 1 mission.

My name was given in 1904.

I was named by Alphonse Borrelly.

I'm named after Alphonse Borrelly, the astronomer who discovered me.

An interesting fact is Borrelly was the target of NASA's Deep Space 1 mission in 2001, which captured detailed images of its nucleus, revealing a dry, dark surface with jets of dust and gas.
