C/1942 EA (Väisälä) is a Halley-type comet with an orbital period of about 86±4 years. It is the third of four comets discovered by Finnish astronomer, Yrjö Väisälä. Given only seven observations in the JPL SBDB solution, the comet's return is expected around 2027–2028. JPL Horizons has the comet remaining more than 1.9 AU (280 million km) from Earth during the 2028 passage.
