What is the next year that Haley's comet will be visible from earth without the use of a telescope?
Next appear in mid-2061
What is the name of Earths next comet?
Aside from the regular short-period and dim comets, not noticed by the average person (such as Comet Encke or Comet Tuttle 1) the next comet we can be reasonably sure of seeing is good old Comet Halley, next scheduled to appear in July of 2061. But there will almost certainly be at least one or two large, bright comets visible on earth before then - we just don't know when they will be. Comets, even large, spectacular comets, are frequently just discovered about 4-9 months before they become a great display in the night sky. None meeting the criteria are in sight right now - but stay tuned.
