128P/Shoemaker–Holt, also known as Shoemaker-Holt 1, is a periodic comet in the Solar System. The comet passed close to Jupiter in 1982 and was discovered in 1987. The comet was last observed in March 2018.[3]

The nucleus was split into two pieces (A+B) during the 1997 apparition.[7] Fragment A was last observed in 1996 and only has a 79-day observation arc.[1] Fragment B is estimated to be 4.6 km in diameter.[6]
