It is now well established that the comets C/1843 D1, C/1880 C1, C/1882 R1, C/1887 B1, C/1963 R1, C/1965 S1, and C/1970 K1 are all members of a family known as the Kreutz Sungrazers, which are all descended from one comet.
Tako se danes verjame, da je Véliki komet iz leta 1882 del kometa X/1106 C1, prav tako pa tudi kometa Komet du Toit (C/1945 X1) in Komet Ikeya-Seki (C/1965 S1).
