Halley's Comet originates from the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies beyond Neptune. It follows a highly elliptical orbit that brings it close to the Sun approximately every 76 years.
It can be seen every 75-76 years. The next predicted perihelion of Halley's Comet will be 28 July 2061.
halleys comet will return in 2061.
I do not have the ability to see comets or any other objects in the night sky. My existence is purely virtual.
Halley's Comet was last seen in 1986 and is expected to reappear in 2061.
Halley's comet is in orbit round the sun. Its orbit time is about 75 years, but as the orbital path is long and narrow, most of that is spent far out where we cannot see it. We see it for a few months when it is near the sun.
That is Halley's comet, named after English astronomer Edmond Halley,
Halley's Comet has never been 10 miles above Earth. It is always millions of miles from us, even when closest to us. It was last visible from Earth in 1986. It will next be visible in 2061.

By themselves, comets are not really important. Even the most impressive comet, like Hale-Bopp, is a visual spectacle only. But the POTENTIAL for a comet - to strike the Earth directly and cause untold devastation - is far more significant. Right now, if we were to see a comet aimed at the Earth, there is very little that we could do about it, other than stand there and die. The threat of a comet impact, like the ones that have devastated our planet several times before, ought to be enough spur us all into looking for ways to protect ourselves from the inevitable time that it WILL happen again.
A well-known name for a meteoroid that enters Earth's atmosphere and produces a bright streak of light is a shooting star or a meteor.
It can be seen every 75-76 years. The next predicted perihelion of Halley's Comet will be 28 July 2061.
Time of the Comet was created in 2008.
The duration of Time of the Comet is 1.73 hours.
I thought Halleys comet was every 78 years, hang on, I'd better check, I remember NOT seeing it last time it came around & I thought that was in 1988 ! I was close ! 75 to 76 years is the return, so it was say 1976 when I saw it (Not)+75 years, you got to wait until 2061 or so, I wont be around to tell you to look up !
As of the most recent information available, Comet Leonard (C/2021 A1) is currently visible in the night sky from some locations on Earth. It is best viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, and its visibility may vary based on location and time of year.
Halley was an astronomer, mathematician, and general scientist, and is best known for his prediction of the return period of the eponymous comet, Halleys Comet. Edmund Halley discovered the motion of stars.
