{wiki=List_of_numbered_comets}
The "List of numbered comets" refers to a catalog of comets that have been assigned unique numbers by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) once their orbits have been well established through multiple observations. This numbering system is similar to the one used for asteroids. Typically, the list includes the comet's name (often reflecting its discoverer), its designated number, and sometimes additional information such as its orbital characteristics, historical significance, or notable appearances.
