 Mellish (C/1917 F1) is a Halley's type comet with a period of 142 .53 yrs and an inclination of 32.68 degrees from the ecliptic. It was discovered by John E. Mellish on 19 March 1917 in the US with his own built telescope. The unusual thing about this comet is that it stays in only two signs (Aries and Taurus) except during perihelion. Below is a table of this comet for the years 1900 to 2035 AD.
