A non-periodic comet that passed through the inner Solar System in June and July 1893. Its path then carried out of the Solar System and on towards interstellar space, and it is now more than 130 AU from the Sun, travelling in roughly the direction of the star Procyon in Canis Minor.
On its brief journey through the inner Solar System, the comet reached third magnitude, and was visible to the naked eye. It was discovered over the same period by a number of observers: apart from Rordame and Quénisset, at least five others could lay claim to having been the first to detect the comet in the sky.
