C/1847 F1, also known as Comet C/1847 F1, is a long-period comet that was first observed in 1847. It is notable for its highly elliptical orbit, which takes it far beyond the outer planets of the solar system. The comet's brightness and visibility made it a subject of interest for astronomers of the time. The comet reached perihelion, or its closest approach to the Sun, on March 5, 1847. Its appearance was recorded by various astronomers, contributing to the understanding of cometary behavior and orbits. C/1847 F1 is part of a larger group of comets that have been studied to learn more about the formation of the solar system.
