Why are halebopps comet and halleys comet important?
By themselves, comets are not really important. Even the most impressive comet, like Hale-Bopp, is a visual spectacle only. But the POTENTIAL for a comet - to strike the Earth directly and cause untold devastation - is far more significant. Right now, if we were to see a comet aimed at the Earth, there is very little that we could do about it, other than stand there and die. The threat of a comet impact, like the ones that have devastated our planet several times before, ought to be enough spur us all into looking for ways to protect ourselves from the inevitable time that it WILL happen again.
