Another factor making Comet Kohoutek an attractive subject for study was the fact that orbital calculations suggested it was a new comet-one that had never before passed close to the Sun and would therefore be expected to differ from comets that had periodically returned. Kohoutek's closest approach to the Sun (fig 4-6), at a distance of 0.142 AU, was made on December 28, 1973 , although to an Earth observer the comet appeared closer on December 27. Kohoutek was not expected to give off any X-rays, but some possibility existed that more energetic radiation from the Sun might have caused the comet to fluoresce, yielding information on the nature of cometary material.
