1986 Halley's Comet


"Halley's Comet won't make another appearance in our solar system for close to fifty years, but on its last visit, in 1986, it left some pieces of itself behind. Halley's cosmic litter has been making biannual appearances in the night sky ever since – once every October in the form of the Orionid meteor shower, and again every May, as the Eta Aquarids."

Check the Clear Sky Chart for good places to view the comet.

Good viewing: if you can see all 7 stars of the little dipper you should be able to see the comet.
