The Bart Simpson Comet was a comet from space that was heading towards Springfield.
History[edit]
After sabotaging Principal Skinner's weather balloon, Bart was sentenced to help Principal Skinner with his astronomy readings. While Skinner went to chase down the weather balloon as it came close to the ground, Bart messed around with Skinner's telescope, spinning it around before looking through it. As he did, he noticed a comet in the night sky. Bart phoned the Springfield Observatory, which credited Bart with discovering a comet and named it the Bart Simpson Comet. When Skinner returned to Bart with the weather balloon, he was horrified that Bart had discovered the comet instead of him.
Bart's discovery of the Bart Simpson Comet made front-page news for The Springfield Shopper and led The Superfriends at Springfield Elementary School to invite Bart to join their ranks. When Database asked Bart if he could show them the comet one night, Bart told them that they could just look out the window to see it. They were shocked at how close the comet was, as it was directly in the path of Springfield. The Superfriends and Bart rushed off to the Springfield Observatory to report the comet, which led to the emergency siren being used.
An emergency meeting was called at Springfield Town Hall, and simulations showed that the comet would destroy Springfield. However, Professor Frink had a plan to destroy the comet using a rocket. This alleviated the fears of the townspeople, although Lisa was still concerned about it. When the rocket was launched, the people of Springfield watched as it missed the comet and hit the Only Bridge Out of Town instead, trapping everybody in Springfield. The House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. had a vote on evacuating the people of Springfield. However, because congressman Bob Arnold tacked on a rider for $30 million of taxpayer money to support the perverted arts, the bill was denied.
Despite the threat of the comet, Homer wasn't scared because he thought that the comet would burn up in the atmosphere and end up no bigger than a chihuahua's head. However, the rest of the family weren't convinced, so Homer took them to the Flanders family bomb shelter, which Ned had built big enough to accommodate both families. However, other Springfielders soon arrived and filled up the bomb shelter until the door couldn't be closed. Ned was voted out of the shelter so they could close the door and went to face his death alone. Feeling bad about this, Homer and the rest of the shelter's occupants left to join Ned on a hill, facing their doom together. As the comet approached, it burned up in the atmosphere and ended up no bigger than a chihuahua's head, just as Homer predicted. Bart then pocketed the rock.[1]
The comet was in Bart's possession, and he was willing to show it to anyone who'd pay him five dollars and do a perfect impression of Huckleberry Hound.[2]
