In mid-September 2011, the following comets are brighter than magnitude 12
as seen from Earth:
-- P/2007 R5 SOHO
-- C/2010 X1 Elenin
-- 45P Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova
-- C/2009 P1 Garradd
There are several comets visible from earth each year with the use of strong binoculars or a telescope, but there are currently no large "naked eye" comets in our immediate future. That can change rapidly, though, new comets are being discovered all the time.
Its very difficult to predict, you sorta will be told maybe a few weeks ahead of time, because you cant make out the comet when it first reaches into what we could see, by the sun.
Halley's comet occurs ever 75->76 years. It last was seen from Earth in 1986 so astronomers predict that it will be seen again in the year of 2061.
Will next appear in mid 2061. Halley's Comet will next appear in the year 2061. for more info click on the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Halley
Next appear in mid-2061
Every 76 years or so. The last known sighting was in 1986, the next in 2061 or 2062.
Comet West (c/1975 V1) is expected back in about 558,000 years. (don't wait up for it) :) If at all, during it's last approach it was observed to have split into four segments.
Every 75 -76 years, so it will reappear sometime between 2061- 2062
2061
Will next appear in mid 2061. Halley's Comet will next appear in the year 2061. for more info click on the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Halley
Next appear in mid-2061
Every 76 years or so. The last known sighting was in 1986, the next in 2061 or 2062.
Most likely some time in 2061.
The current prediction places it some time in 2061.

in about the year 20622061.The comet cycle is 75-76 years and is due next in 2061.It last appeared in 1986 and should appear again in 2061 It has a 75-76 year cycle through our solar systemHalley's Comet was last visible in 1986 and will be visible again in 2061.
Every 75 -76 years, so it will reappear sometime between 2061- 2062
Solar winds blow the debris of the traveling comet to make it appear it has a tail.
From Wikipedia: "Halley's Comet ... is visible from Earth every 75 to 76 years. ... Halley's Comet last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061." You will be able to see other comets, though.
