Halley's Comet is the only known short-period comet that is consistently visible to the naked eye from Earth, [16] appearing every 72–80 years, [17] though with the majority of recorded apparations (25 of 30) occurring after 75–77 years.
The next time it will occur is 2252. (Eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC). 2060 October 22 Periodic comet 15P/Finlay will pass 0.0334 AU (5.00 million km; 3.10 million mi) from Earth. [27] 2061 July 28 Halley's Comet reaches its perihelion, the closest point to the Sun—the last return reached its perihelion on February 9, 1986. [28]
13P/Olbers is a periodic comet with an orbital period of 69 years. It fits the classical definition of a Halley-type comet with a period between 20 and 200 years. [5] The comet last passed perihelion 30 June 2024 and it was previously seen in 1956. The next perihelion is in 2094.

The famous Halley’s comet is about halfway through its roughly 76-year orbit of the sun, having reached its farthest point from its host star in December 2023. The comet won’t be visible in ...
In comet nomenclature, the letter before the "/" is either "C" (a non-periodic comet), "P" (a periodic comet), "D" (a comet that has been lost or has disintegrated), "X" (a comet for which no reliable orbit could be calculated —usually historical comets), "I" for an interstellar object, or "A" for an object that was either mistakenly ...
Minor planets in comet-like orbits similar to HTCs that never come close enough to the Sun to outgas are called centaurs. HTCs are named after the first discovered member, and the first discovered periodic comet, Halley's Comet, which orbits the Sun in about 75 years, and passing as far as the orbit of Neptune.
