All Sky Automated Survey
The All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) is a Polish project implemented on 7 April 1997 to do photometric monitoring of approximately 20 million stars brighter than 14 magnitude all over the sky. Comet Pojmański and all Sky Automated Survey are Science and technology in Poland.

Apsis
An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.
Aquila (constellation)
Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator.
See Comet Pojmański and Aquila (constellation)
Astronomical unit
The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.
See Comet Pojmański and Astronomical unit
Barycenter (astronomy)
In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre) is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit.
See Comet Pojmański and Barycenter (astronomy)
Binoculars
Binoculars or field glasses are two refracting telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.
See Comet Pojmański and Binoculars
Bohdan Paczyński
Bohdan Paczyński or Bohdan Paczynski (8 February 1940 – 19 April 2007) was a Polish astronomer notable for his theories and work in the fields of stellar evolution, accretion discs, and gamma ray bursts.

Capricornus
Capricornus is one of the constellations of the zodiac.
See Comet Pojmański and Capricornus
Chile
Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in western South America.
Coma (comet)
The coma is the nebulous envelope around the nucleus of a comet, formed when the comet passes near the Sun in its highly elliptical orbit.
See Comet Pojmański and Coma (comet)
Delphinus
Delphinus (Pronounced or) is a small constellation in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere, close to the celestial equator.
See Comet Pojmański and Delphinus
Dolphin
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal in the clade Odontoceti (toothed whale).

Eagle
Eagle is the common name for the golden eagle, bald eagle, and other birds of prey in the family Accipitridae.

Julian year (astronomy)
In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

List of near-parabolic comets
The following is a list of comets with a very high eccentricity (generally 0.99 or higher) and a period of over 1,000 years that do not quite have a high enough velocity to escape the Solar System.

Lithuania
Lithuania (Lietuva), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lietuvos Respublika), is a country in the Baltic region of Europe.

Magnitude (astronomy)
In astronomy, magnitude is measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband.

Minute and second of arc
A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol, is a unit of angular measurement equal to of one degree.
