Fabry's Comet, formally designated as C/1885 X1, is a non-periodic comet that became visible to the naked eye on April 1886. It was the only comet discovered by the French astronomer, Louis Fabry.
Observational history While working at the Paris Observatory on the night of 1 December 1885, Louis Fabry discovered a new comet that was then a 12th-magnitude object within the constellation Pisces. Ralph Copeland observed the comet at Dunecht, Scotland and described it as "brighter towards the preceding side" on 7 December 1885.
