nobody knows when.
Oh, that's a great question, friend! The best time to see the comet is usually early in the morning or after sunset when the sky is dark. Find a place away from city lights and give yourself some time to curve the skies and simply ENJOY the splendor of nature. Remember, every moment in nature is a gift, so be patient and let the beauty reveal itself to you when it's ready. Happy comet watching!
I could see the comet in the sky coming toward me as it passes the milky way.
Ah, what a joy it is to witness the stars and cosmic wonders in the night sky! Remember, comets like to make unpredictable appearances, so keep an eye out whenever the night is clear and you may just catch a glimpse when the time is right. Just keep being patient and open to the beauty that surrounds you, and the universe will reward you with its wonders. Keep chasing those dreams, my friend.
There is Halley's comet, and a meteorite crater called Hoba Iron Meteorite. Does that help?
"Falling Stars" can happen at ANY time; including right now. There are several "meteor showers", which do happen on regular dates. They are named for the constellation from which they appear to originate. Meteor showers occur whenever the Earth passes through, or near, the path of an old comet. It is likely that the meteors we see are ancient comet dust striking the Earth. The next is apparently the Lyrids, on April 20.
I would say not because of the comet's course and trajectory of the comet you would need a good telescope to see it.
The latest visit by Halley's Comet to the inner solar system was in 1986. Its next perihelion to the Sun will be July 28, 2061.
The next time Halley's comet will be visible from Earth is in 2061. Halley's comet has an orbital period of about 76 years, so it will be approximately 76 years from the last time it was seen in 1986.
Halley's Comet is visible from Earth roughly every 76 years. The next predicted appearance is in 2061. It was last visible in 1986.
From here on earth, you can see Halley's Comet on it's regular return - it's period is about 76 years. The next time it will be closest to earth is July 28, 2061, but it will be visible in the sky for several weeks before that.
halleys comet will return in 2061.
For the last 4.5 billion years Halley's Comet has orbited the Sun. The last time it was visible to the naked eye on Earth was 1986. The next near pass is likely to be about 2061.
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.
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.
Edmund Halley didn't discover the comet, he predicted when it would return. Up to his time no-one had been able to say when a comet would appear. In 1705, using Newtons laws of gravity, he was able to calculate the effects on a comet of the gravity of planets like Jupiter and Saturn; this allowed him to identify comets recorded in 1682, 1607, and 1531 as the same comet. He then calculated it appeared every 76 years and predicted its return in 1758. Halley himself didn't live to see it, but it turned up right on time, was given his name, and has been Halley's comet ever since.
There are comets all the time, sometimes we can see them with the naked eye.
