As objects visible to astronomers with telescopes, it is a rare time when some comet is not visible in the sky, at some place in the world. But as far as large, naked-eye comets, the last one was Comet Hale-Bopp, which reached maximum brightness in April of 1997. It will not return for about 2500 years. New comets are being discovered all the time, but there is no way to predict when or if a large, naked-eye comet will be seen again. We are reasonably sure of the return of Comet Halley, but that will next be in 2061.
