Abstract (English):	Cuba has a long-standing tradition in comet observation, dating back to the 19th century when figures like Jos'e Joaqu'ın de Ferrer recorded comet movements, including the 1807 comet. These efforts continued into the 20th century, with notable events such as the telescopic observation of Halley's Comet in 1910 by Jesuit priest Mariano Guti'errez-Lanza. His observations contributed to cometary science and alleviated public fears of a collision between the comet and Earth. Today, Cuban amateur astronomers, using digital tools and social media, continue this legacy. Recent observations of comets reflect Cuba's enduring passion for astronomy and highlight its growing interest in this topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Cuba tiene una larga tradición en la observación de cometas, que se remonta al siglo XIX, cuando figuras como José Joaquín de Ferrer registraron movimientos de cometas, incluido el cometa de 1807. Estos esfuerzos continuaron en el siglo XX, con eventos notables como la observación telescópica del cometa Halley en 1910 por el sacerdote jesuita Mariano Gutiérrez-Lanza. Sus observaciones contribuyeron a la ciencia cometaria y calmaron los temores públicos de una colisión entre el cometa y la Tierra. Hoy en día, astrónomos aficionados cubanos, utilizando herramientas digitales y redes sociales, continúan con este legado. Observaciones recientes de cometas reflejan la duradera pasión de Cuba por la astronomía y destacan su creciente interés en el tema. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
