Non-periodic ]s are seen on only one occasion. They are usually on near-]s that will not return to the vicinity of the ] for thousands of years, if ever.


{{R with history}}
The official names of non-periodic comets (defined as comets with orbital periods of 200 years or more) begin with a "C"; comets that have been lost or disappeared have names that begin with a "D". An example of the latter is ] (D/1770 L1), which is known to have been ejected from the ] by ].

The following is a partial list of non-periodic comets that have appeared in the ]:
