Comet
A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.

List of Solar System objects by greatest aphelion
This is a list of Solar System objects by greatest aphelion or the greatest distance from the Sun that the orbit takes it.

Lost comet
A lost comet is a previously discovered comet that has been missed at its most recent perihelion passage, generally because there is not enough data to calculate reliably the comet's orbit and predict its location.

Lost minor planet
Lost minor planets are minor planets that observers lose track of due to too short an observation arc to accurately predict the future location of the minor planet.

Meteor shower
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky.

Near-Earth object
A near-Earth object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit can bring it into proximity with Earth.

Observational history of comets
Comets have been observed by humanity for thousands of years, but it is only in the past few centuries that they have been studied as astronomical phenomena.

Planets beyond Neptune
Following the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, there was considerable speculation that another planet might exist beyond its orbit.

Potentially hazardous object
A potentially hazardous object (PHO) is a near-Earth object – either an asteroid or a comet – with an orbit that can make exceptionally close approaches to the Earth and large enough to cause significant regional damage in the event of impact.
