1. Edward Emerson Barnard (Lick Observatory, California, USA) discovered this comet in Andromeda with a 6.5-inch refractor on 1889
June 24. He described the comet as faint, with no condensation or tail.
This comet was accidentally recovered by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project on 2006 June 23 and
was reported as a minor planet of magnitude 17.1. During the period of June 23.97-23.99, L. Buzzi (Varese, Italy) obtained images using a
60-cm reflector and noted the object was cometary, with a circular coma 6 arc seconds across and a strong central condensation.
Designations: P/2006 M3.
