This note celebrates the discovery of the Comet Bappu-Bok-Newkirk 1949IV, the only one with an Indian's name to it. Then a research student at Harvard, M. K. Vainu Bappu (1927-82) was destined to set modern astronomy in newly independent India on an ambitious path to progress.What do we know about the Comet Bappu-Bok-Newkirk 1949 IV (1949c, C/1949 Nl), the only one with an Indian's name to it? M. K. Vainu Bappu, Bart J. Bok and Gordon A. Newkirk made a serendipitous discovery of a comet in 1949 on a photographic plate of a certain region of the sky taken with the 24-33 inch Jewett-Schmidt telescope at the Oak Ridge Station of the Harvard College Observatory (HCO) (Figure 1). The plate, given a 55 min exposure, was taken in the early hours of 2 July 1949 by Vainu Bappu underthe direction of Bok, while he was a research student at HCO. Announced as a 'New Comet' by Harlow Shapley1 in the Harvard College Observatory Announcement Card (HAC) 1006, the positions and description that were given corresponded to its being situatedin the constellation of Cygnus:1949 R.A. Dec. Mag.July 2.30537 19h47m0 +38°36' 13 Daily motion: 3m.6 west; 29' north Description 7 (no tail; diffuse; central condensation).
