Great Comet
The brightest members of the Kreutz sungrazers have been spectacular, easily visible in the daytime sky. The three most impressive have been the Great Comet of 1843, the Great Comet of 1882 and X/1106 C1. The progenitor of all Kreutz sungrazers observed to date may be the Great Comet of 371BC, or comets seen in 214 BC, 423 AD or 467 AD. Another notable Kreutz sungrazer was the Eclipse Comet of 1882 (see further below).
