Because it is one of the best known comets in the world.

Comet Hale-Bopp (formally designated C/1995 O1) was arguably the most widely observed comet of the twentieth century, and one of the brightest seen for many decades. It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months.

The primary difference between Halley's Comet and other known periodic comets is that Halley is the only significant comet with so short a period; it is possible to live long enough to see it twice. Most comets have periods in excess of a normal human lifespan.
