The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.

What year was the last time earth saw a Halley's comet?
Each comet is given a new and different name when it's discovered ... a name that's never been used before for any other comet. There's only one "Halley's" comet. The last time that one was near enough to the sun to be visible from Earth was in 1986, and it's expected to arrive in this neighborhood again around 2061 or 2062.
When was the last time halley appeared?
Edmund Halley himself has not been seen since he was buried in the graveyard of the old church of St. Margaret, Lee, England. The comet that bears his name, Halley's Comet, was last seen by the public in 1986. However, the comet was on the far side of the Sun, and very few people were able to see it at all. Halley's Comet was last seen through the Very Large Telescope array at Paranal, Chile, in 2003. Halley's Comet will next appear in 2061, when it should be much more visible than it was in 1986, and the 2134 pass is expected to be VERY close to Earth. Too bad we won't be around to see it!
