Comet Encke was "discovered" in 1786, 1795,1805, and 1818 by different astronomers. These comets were found to be the same only after orbital calculations in 1819 by the German astronomer Johann Encke, who then predicted its return in 1822.

Retrograde motion is an effect of changing perspective. Inferior planets Mercury and Venus show retrograde motion on either side of inferior conjunction. They "overtake" Earth as they pass between Earth and the Sun.

Albireo is regarded as one of the finest multiple star systems in the night sky. It consists of a golden-colored giant star and a cooler blue-dwarf star. Albireo is easily separated through a small telescope.
