Comets are among the most interesting celestial objects out there. Some are visible to the naked eye, and with their predictable orbits, we should always see them, provided we know where and when to look (unless they go missing). However, ancient civilizations did not have such knowledge. Comets were mysterious objects that were often considered good or bad omens—mostly bad.

Most of these connections are more superstitions and suggestions than facts. But then, the comets aren’t complaining.
