Hale-Bopp
The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
This comet was named after the 2 scientist who began the study of the effects of the comets collision with Jupiter. Their names were Shoemaker and Levy, thus naming the comet the Shoemaker-Levy comet. Obviously after crashing into Jupiter the comet no longer exists.
