One of the greatest comet of last century!
It was so bright, you can see its tail with your naked eye. It was discovered back in 1995, two years before it reaches peak brightness and when it was at Jupiter's distance. This is highly unusual for a new comet to discovered so early and at such great distance. This is partly due to its enormous size of 40km diameter nucleus.
