The infrared astronomy observation satellite IRAS, launched in January 1983 as part of an international cooperative project between the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, discovered a moving celestial object on April 25th. It was discovered to be the same as a new 7th magnitude comet discovered on May 4th by Genichi Aratake of Niigata and J. Alcock of the United Kingdom. On May 11th, this comet approached the Earth to within 4.3 million km, moving 40 degrees across the sky in one day. This was the first record since Comet Lexel in 1770, and it was a good opportunity to investigate the size of the comet's nucleus, but even with a large telescope the true size of the nucleus could not be seen, and it was estimated to be less than 5 km in diameter.

1983年1月,アメリカ,イギリス,オランダ3国の国際協同計画で打ち上げられた赤外線天文観測衛星IRAS(アイラス)が,4月25日,移動する天体を発見した。5月4日,新潟の荒貴源一とイギリスのオールコックJ.Alcockが発見した7等の新すい星がこれと同じものであることがわかった。このすい星は5月11日,地球に430万kmまで接近し,1日に天空を40度も移動した。これは1770年のレキセルすい星以来の記録で,すい星の核の大きさを調べるよい機会であったが,大望遠鏡でも核のほんとうの大きさは見えず,直径5km以下であることが推定された。
