We now know that they are really dusty iceballs orbiting the Sun, but they still hold plenty of surprises. Just last fall, comet 17P/Holmes brightened unexpectedly by a factor of 400,000 in just two days, and in early 2007, the brightest comet in 41 years was visible to the unaided eye in broad daylight. Comet expert Dan Green will discuss what we know about comets and how we know it. including the frequency with which comets actually hit Earth and how comets are discovered and named.
