What significant events involving comets occurred in the 1990s?

In the 1990s, two significant events involving comets occurred. The first was the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in 1994, creating a series of impacts that were observed by astronomers worldwide. The second event was the discovery of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1995, which became one of the brightest comets seen from Earth in the 20th century.


When month and year will Halley's comet occur next?

Variations in the orbit of comets in the outer solar system can cause periodic comets to appear earlier or later than anticipated. We expect Halley's Comet to appear again in 2061. I don't believe that it would be accurate to narrow it down much further. Further, the telescopes of 2060 are likely to be orders of magnitude better than the current Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. It is possible that astronomers 50 years from now will be able to detect the comet well in advance of it becoming a naked-eye object.

What are the names of 5 famous comets?

1 - Halley's 2 - Lovejoy 3 - Hale-Bopp 4 - Ison 5 - Shoemaker-Levy 9 Note: Obviously that's a matter of opinion to some extent. I would have a different list. See "related link" below for a list of some famous comets. Note: Unfortunately, the photo and caption for the "eclipse comet of 1948" is wrong in this link.
