This comet was so big you could see it with the naked eye

Arguably one of the most famous space objects of this kind is Halley's Comet. It has left a great impact on our history and understanding of these mysterious "falling stars." When this comet passed Earth in August of 1835, for example, it was blamed for the New York City fire that kept going for several nights.
A comet that is bright enough to be visible from Earth without the help of a telescope is called a great comet. Approximately one great comet can be seen every ten years or so. People have noticed other comets for millennia. However, scientists have concluded that since comets shed a lot of material each time they orbit close to the Sun, their lifespan may be only thousands of years. If you compare that to the age of the Solar System – which is 4.6 billion years – it's a relatively small number.
