The Bart Simpson Comet was a comet from space that was heading towards Springfield. 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.

Students gathered outside the school as Groundskeeper Willie released the balloon while Skinner praised science and encouraged enthusiasm for the event. The celebration was disrupted when Bart Simpson revealed he had secretly attached a giant caricature of Skinner to the balloon. As it rose into the sky, hidden panels unfolded, showing a huge image of the principal holding a sign reading "Hi, I'm Big Butt Skinner." The students burst into laughter, and after Skinner announced that whoever brought the balloon down would not have to learn fractions, many of the children immediately began throwing rocks at it, but without success.
