We still have to wait for another very bright comet, what astronomers call a great comet. There's no strict definition for great comet, but most agree that Hale-Bopp - widely seen by people in 1997 - was one. Lesser comets are moderately frequent, though, and, right now, there's a nice binocular comet in the dawn sky.
