Encyclopedia > Michel Giacobini

Michel Giacobini (1873 – 1938) was a French astronomer.


He discovered a number of comets, including 21P/Giacobini-Zinner (parent body of the Giacobinids meteor shower) and 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak.


He worked at Nice Observatory until 1910, when he requested a transfer to the Paris Observatory. He volunteered for military service in World War I and suffered the effects of poison gas. He recovered and resumed his astronomical activities after the war.
