Halley’s Comet appears every 75 to 76 years. It has had a recorded appearance since at least 240 BC. The last time Halley’s Comet crossed our planet’s sky was in 1986. Sometimes referred to as Comet Halley, it was formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Halley’s Comet was named after Edmund Halley who predicted the next time it would be seen. After his prediction came true, the comet was named after him. Halley’s Comet is about 6 miles across in length and is composed of rock, dust, and ice. The next time that Haley’s Comet will be visible to us is in the year 2061.

I saw it in the sky. It did not seem very impressive from where I was. Just a little.
