The Hale-Bopp Comet will appear in the inner-solar system in approximately the year 4377.

This is due to on April 1996 the comet passed within 0.77-0.771 AU of Jupiter, this distance is close enough for the comet's orbit to be affected by the planet's gravitational force.

Comet Hale-Bopp has an orbital period of roughly 2,533 years, meaning it appears in our solar system approximately once every 2,500 years. It made its most recent appearance in 1997 and is not expected to return until around the year 4,500.
