Donald Edward Machholz, Jr. (October 7, 1952 - August 9, 2022)

The astronomical community, in particular the Amateur and the Comet Scene as well as the Messier and Messier Marathon community, mourns the loss of Don Machholz (1952-1922).

Don was one of the inventors of the Messier Marathon in the 1970s, and was involved in the discovery of 12 comets between 1978 and 2018.
