There are comets visible all the time, but they are generally so small or so distant that few people other than amateur comet watchers ever see them. When will the next big, impressive comet be visible? Nobody knows; that's why hundreds of comet watchers spend their nights in home observatories looking for new comets. Guessing how impressive a comet is going to be from early observations is also difficult, because one never knows the exact composition of a comet. Every one is different, and they all have surprises.
