When is the comet kohoutek going to be seen?
The period of naked eye visibility for comet Kohoutek spanned the end of Nov. 1973 until late Jan. 1974. {That means if you knew where and when to look, you could see Kohoutek without a telescope.} Its orbit was found to be hyperbolic, meaning Kohoutek is on an escape course from the solar system, never to be sen again.
What was the first comet to be visited by a spacecraft?
The comet now known as Halley's Comet has been observed since at least 240 BCE, but it was not known to be something that reappeared periodically. It wasn't until 1705 that English astronomer Edmond Halley determined that it was the same comet that appeared periodically.
How long did it take ISON to orbit the sun?
It is unknown exactly how long Comet ISON had been orbiting the sun since its discovery in September 2012. However, experts estimate its orbital period is somewhere around 400,000 years, with an immensely-large hyperbolic pathway. As the comet neared perihelion, it disintegrated from its close proximity to the sun between December 2013 and February 2014.

What space object was named after Edmond Halley?
Halley's Comet was named after Edmond Halley. In 1758 he first noted its periodic orbit which makes it's appearance every 76 years. It has been observed by astronomers for the last two thousand years. The last time Earth caught a glimpse of this comet was 1986.
What evidence do we have that comets are permanent solar system members rather than interlopers from other parts of the galaxy?
The trajectories of all observed comets to date have been elliptical, indicating that they orbit the sun. A comet coming in from outside the solar system would follow a hyperbolic trajectory.
How long does it take comet to revolve around a moon?
There are no data with which to answer that question, because no comet has ever yet been observed in orbit around a moon.
Why there is no scientific basis about comet and asteroid?
There is a scientific basis. Asteroids and comets have been direct;y observed and studied.
What is the distance of comet tails that have been observed to extend?
Some comets have tails reaching 160 million kilometers long.
Space object is named after the astronaut Edward Halley?
Halley's Comet (that's easy, right?). Although it had been observed before, Halley was the first to discover that it was the same comet that returned at regular intervals, instead of a different object each time, and calculated its orbital period. There also exists a lunar crater named Halley.
Some comet tails are longer than distance from earth to the sun?
True. Some ion tails have been observed to extend 150 million km or more.

Which comets have been visible over past 5 years?
COMET HALE-BOPP, COMET SWIFT-TUTTLE, COMET HYAKUTAKE, COMET HALLEY, and COMET SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9
What is edmond halley major contributions in astronomy?
he used the theory of spongebob mooning patrick and it gave him the idea that charlie sheen is a drug addict and that gave him the idea that cartman is a boss and then it finnally gave him the idea that he didnt use any technolgy. he guessed on everything he ever did.
