Great Comet of 1744, illustration. This comet was especially notable for developing a 'fan' of six tails after reaching its perihelion. Its official designation is C/1743 X, and it is also known as also known as Comet de Cheseaux or Comet Klinkenberg-Cheseaux. Comets are icy bodies from the outer solar system that boil and form a bright tail of gas and dust as they approach the Sun. | |
