For thousands of years, people have looked into the night sky and seen something unusual.

It was fuzzy, sometimes bright, and it wasn’t there before. It appeared out of nowhere and, after a few days or weeks, disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared.

When these events occurred, they were often interpreted as omens. Good or bad depending on who was doing the interpretation. 

Today, we have a much better understanding of what they are and how they work.

Learn more about comets, how they have been observed through history, and what they are on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
