What is the history of comets?

Comets are remnants from the early Solar System, composed of ice, dust, and rock. They have been observed for thousands of years by various cultures and have often been seen as omens or celestial signs. Halley's Comet is one of the most famous comets, known for its periodic appearances every 76 years.


What is the name of the comet that supposedly appears every 2000 years or so and was last seen in the mid 90's?

"Periodic" comets reappear at predictable intervals, such as Haley's Comet. Some comets are never seen again. A few crash into the Sun and are destroyed; a few crash into other planets, such as the Shoemaker-Levy comet that hit Jupiter. Many comets have such long periods, in terms of thousands of years, that no records exist that anyone ever saw them before.


When was last comet last seen?

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.

It depends on where the comet is in relation to the earth and sun, but not many comets would be bright enough to be seen before dusk or after early dawn.

How long should a gas range last?

Depends on the type, amount of use, upkeep & maintenance. Most should last at least ten years. I have seen some that lasted well over twenty. Depends on the type, amount of use, upkeep & maintenance. Most should last at least ten years. I have seen some that lasted well over twenty.
