Quasi-Hilda comet comet: 39P/Oterma was a quasi-Hilda before a close approach to Jupiter in 1963. 77P/Longmore falls outside of the bulk distribution because of its large eccentricity and inclination. Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 impacted with Jupiter in 1994. Quasi-Hilda comet A quasi-Hilda comet (QHC) is a Jupiter-family comet that interacts strongly with Jupiter and undergoes extended temporary capture by it. These comets are associated with the Hilda asteroid zone in the 3:2 inner mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. Typically, asteroids in this zone have a semimajor axis between 3.70 and 4.20 AU, eccentricities below 0.30, and inclinations of no more than 20°. Comets can
Into the Comet Into the Comet "Into the Comet" is a science fiction short story by British writer Arthur C. Clarke. It was originally published in the literary magazine "Fantasy & Science Fiction" in 1960. It is one of several stories by many science fiction authors in which problems are solved by reverting to 'primitive' technology. The story was also published as "Inside the Comet". The plot concerns a journey by a spaceship to enter through the layers of gas surrounding a comet and observe the nucleus at close range. This part of the mission is successful, but the ship's computer develops a
