As of 2021, spacecraft have studied five comets up close: Halley's Comet (by the European Space Agency's Giotto spacecraft), Comet Borrelly (by NASA's Deep Space 1), Comet Wild 2 (by NASA's Stardust spacecraft), Comet Tempel 1 (by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft), and Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft).
Deep Space One's mission target was to flyby an asteroid called 9969 Braille. This mission was only partially successfull so was extended to include further engineering testing along with an encounter with the comet Borrelly.
Comet Hale-Bopp is the most likely candidate to originate from the Oort Cloud. It has a long orbital period, taking approximately 2,533 years to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is characteristic of comets from the Oort Cloud. In contrast, comets like Borrelly and Hyakutake have shorter orbital periods, indicating they are likely from the Kuiper Belt or are periodic comets.
Borrelia is also called Lyme disease and it is a result of a tick bite.
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.
Yes
HUMONGOUS.
Yes
there's comet halley, comet hale-bop, comet borrelly, and Comet wild 2... that's all i can think now.
Alphonse Borrelly was born in 1842.
Alphonse Borrelly died in 1926.

Yes. In 1998 NASA launched Deep Space 1. It was made to intercept the comet Borrelly, which it did in 2001. See the related link for more information and photos.

they are usually likely to be comets
