....um.....if you discovered something, wouldn't you name it after yourself....? It's sort of obvious...
Well if you discovered something, wouldn't you want to name it after yourself? Like Halley's comet was discovered by Halley.
No, not all comets are named after people. Some comets are named after the astronomers who discovered them, while others are given more generic names based on their characteristics or catalog numbers.
There is no well-known comet named Eva at this time. Comets are typically named after the person or group who discovers them. If a comet named Eva has been discovered recently, it may not be widely recognized yet.
Edmund Halley. He even had a comet named after him, the Halley Comet.
It is however discovered by the person that is named to it. That is the law, for example you are the one that discovered it. It is named to you.
Comets are named for their discoverers. Astronomers who are comet-watchers (a large percentage of comets are discovered by amateur astronomers) live and work in the hopes of finding a comet and writing their names in the heavens. For example, the comet that struck the planet Jupiter was named for the two discoverers, Shoemaker and Levy.
An eponymous condition is named after someone.
There is no set number, because new comets are discovered all the time. Not all comets that are discovered will be visible with the naked eye.
A person in London named Smithson Tennant discovered Osmium.
no one it was discovered with Europe
a person named Naddoddr
New comets are being discovered all the time. That means there are still comets that we don't know about. That means we don't know which is the largest one. The question is a lot like asking "What is the highest number ?", or "Where do you find the biggest fish ?", or "Who will be the oldest person ?"
Comets are typically named using a convention that combines the year of their discovery with a designation indicating the order of their discovery within that year. For example, a comet discovered in 2023 might be named "2023 A1," where "A" represents the first half of the year and "1" indicates it was the first comet discovered in that timeframe. Additionally, some comets are named after their discoverers or the spacecraft that studied them, following the International Astronomical Union's guidelines.
