Answer:

Comet Halley

Step-by-step explanation:

This comet is called Halley's comet, also called Comet Halley. It was designated as 1P/Halley and it is visible from Earth every 75 years. It is not something new to us and the same comet was observed around the world by many astronomers from many civilizations all the way back in at least 240 BC. The next time it will be visible will be in 2061.
