Bright comets of 2016. Bright Comets of 2015. Where do comets come from? The Comet’s Name. Comet Halley’s next apparition. Just like Edmund Halley’s clockwork predictions, Comet Halley will return again in the year 2061 with perihelion occurring on 28th July that year. It will be better placed for observation compared to that of the 1986 appearance and is expected to reach visual magnitude -0.3. In early May, and the Orionids. Be the first to comment.

http://www.cometwatch.co.uk/here-comes-comet-panstarrs
Bright comets of 2016. Bright Comets of 2015. Where do comets come from? Here comes Comet Panstarrs. Comet C/2014 Q1 Panstarrs is slowly coming out of transit from the sun this month to grace the skies for Southern Hemisphere observers. Observations currently place the comet at 4th visual magnitude, well within naked eye visibility. However, this may or may not rapidly decline in the coming weeks. Be the first to comment.

http://www.cometwatch.co.uk/historic-bright-comets/comet-west
Bright comets of 2016. Bright Comets of 2015. Where do comets come from? Comet C/1975 V1 (West) was discovered by Richard M. West of the European Southern Observatory on August 10, 1975. It was discovered photographically rather than visually. By the time it reached perihelion on February 05, 1976 it had reached a dazzling -3 in brightness. At this stage the comet could be observed and studied in broad daylight! The comet is thought to have a near parabolic orbit so it wont be returning anytime soon.

Bright comets of 2016. Bright Comets of 2015. Where do comets come from? Where do comets come from? Although there is some uncertainty, according to theories, comets can originate from a few different places in space depending on their orbit type. Many of the short period comets (with an orbital period of under 200 years) originate from the Kuiper Belt, a disc shaped region made up of icy bodies that spreads out between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto.
