What is the name of the comet that supposedly appears every 2000 years or so and was last seen in the mid 90's?
"Periodic" comets reappear at predictable intervals, such as Haley's Comet. Some comets are never seen again. A few crash into the Sun and are destroyed; a few crash into other planets, such as the Shoemaker-Levy comet that hit Jupiter. Many comets have such long periods, in terms of thousands of years, that no records exist that anyone ever saw them before.
Who are 2 famous comets named after?
Halley's comet - which returns to our solar system approximately every 75 years - is one example, named after it's discoverer Edmund Halley. Another notable example is Shoemaker-Levy 9. It was observed orbiting the planet Jupiter, but the orbit was decaying - leading to the prediction that it was to crash into Jupiter's surface.
When did Comet Crash happen?
The current belief of virtually all astronomers is that comets were "specks" of leftover detritus from the formation of our solar system. Being the lightest of those "specks", they orbit the sun at the farthest distance - the Oort cloud, estimated to be about a light year from our sun. Note, though, that in this usage, "speck" means a ball of dirt laced with ices that's about 3 to 10 kilometers wide.
