Comments: In Korea comet have been called Broom star because shape like broom from ancient time. It was ominous star. When comet appeared in the sky there were a lot of political turmoil. The ruler of party got chance to get rid of the opponent as the comet appeared. So we have lots of historical comet records. The rcords are proven scientifically in modern times. Not only in Korea but also in Oriental countries comet was a sign of ill omen.
